HANDMANN, JAKOB EMANUEL (Basel 1718 - 1781 Bern) : "Interior of a forge"; oil on wood; 25,5x19 cm; verso sig. a. dat. 1760 Literature: Thomas Freivogel, Emanuel Handmann (1718-1781). Ein Basler Porträtist im Bern des ausgehenden Rokoko, Bern 2002, p. 217, no. 479. The work is offered in a decorative gold frame attributable to Johann Friedrich I Funk (1706-1775). The depicted scene goes back to a contemporary print work with the inaccurate reference to Adriaen Brouwer as inventor. A comparable composition is also known from a painting by Gabriel Metsu (1629-1667).
