This painting depicts a man dressed in a dark tunic and leggings, holding a hammer in his right hand. His left hand rests on his hip, and he stands with his feet shoulder-width apart. The man's attire and the hammer he holds suggest a connection to craftsmanship or labor. The artist's use of color and composition draws attention to the subject's confident stance. To explore more works by this artist, look up Constantin Hansen.
