This famous painting was copied many times and repeated throughout the XVI century. Openly demonstrating a return to the traditions of Dutch painting, Mussis reproduces the composition and analytical precision of the painting “Saint Eligius in the jewelry workshop” by Petrus Christus. However, in comparison with the prototype of the 15th century, Mussys departs from the religious composition and creates an exciting lifestyle.
It is interesting to contrast a man who is focused on money and a woman who turns over the Book of Hours – one can say that she balances the self-interested profession of her husband with her prayer book.
