This warm and atmospheric 1918 oil painting by Hippolyte Prat shows two shoemakers deeply engaged in their craft. With refined brushwork, moody tones and great attention to detail, the artist captures a slice of everyday life from the early 20th century.
The work was professionally cleaned in our restoration workshop, the old varnish was removed and the canvas was revarnished. A new custom frame was also made. The painting is signed and dated, in good condition, and ready to enhance any interior with a taste for authenticity.
