This painting shows a man working at a lathe in a room with a large window. He's wearing a light-colored shirt and dark pants, and he's looking down at the lathe. In front of him, there are two children on the floor, playing with some objects. The room is dimly lit, with the only light coming from the window. The walls are a warm, earthy color, and there are some tools and objects scattered around the room. The overall atmosphere is one of quiet industry and domesticity. The painting is held at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
