Smoker on a Stool Conversing with a Cobbler at Work is a 1671 ink by Adriaen van Ostade, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows a scene of two men in a workshop. One man is sitting on a stool, smoking a pipe and talking to the other man, who is working as a cobbler. The cobbler is kneeling on the ground, holding a shoe and looking up at the smoker. The scene is set in a small, cluttered workshop with various tools and objects scattered around. The atmosphere is quiet and intimate, with the two men engaged in a conversation. The artist, Adriaen van Ostade, used etching and drypoint techniques to create this image.
Adriaen van Ostade (baptized as Adriaen Jansz Hendricx 10 December 1610 – buried 2 May 1685) was a Dutch Golden Age painter of genre works, showing the everyday life of ordinary men and women.
