This watercolor shows a busy workshop with six people working together. Two men sit on a raised platform, one holding a tool while the other leans on a hook. Below, others stand around a table with a small vase of flowers, some cutting fabric or thread. The walls are plain brick, and the light comes from the left, casting soft shadows. The title says this is about "Fes [Fez] Makers," likely referring to the hats being crafted. The artist used light colors and simple shapes to show the scene clearly. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more of this painting up close.
