Weaver's workshop is a 1670 oil by Cornelis Gerritsz Decker, a Dutch Golden Age work, depicting Cottage, held at Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium.
This painting shows a workshop with a large wooden loom in the center. A man sits at the loom, working on it. To the right, a woman holds a baby, and a cat is on the floor. The room has a high ceiling with exposed beams and a brick wall on the left. There are baskets and other objects hanging from the ceiling or placed around the room. The scene is depicted in a realistic style, with attention to detail in the textures and lighting. The artist has used chiaroscuro to create a sense of depth and volume in the scene.
