Delaulne (or Delaune), Etienne (c. 1518-1583/95)

A goldsmith's workshop (one of a pair, see also ART343473). Ca. 1576. This engraving shows the walls of the workshop lined with the tools of the craft: pliers, files, drills, gravers, and hammers. The boy turning the winch on the left appears to be drawing wire. The worktable is placed perpendicular to the large window, in order to provide maximum natural light to the craftsmen. On the right a youth holds a pair of tongs in a small forge, with a bellows and an anvil by his side. Each workman sits with a leather apron tucked into his belt and attached to the table to catch filings of precious metal. Engraving, 80 x 120 mm. PD 1951,1120.5.
