This charming work depicts a rural workshop at a moment of peace and quiet in the German town of Hochsal Laufenburg . The sense of tranquility is captured in the three pigeons dozing on a beam across the window, shaded from the bright sunlight beyond. Flowers hang drying from the ceiling and green leaves spill from a basket next to the work bench, with a few more abandoned under the bench itself. Luscious green vines, illuminated by the sunshine, threaten to spill into the work space, blurring the boundary between interior and exterior.
