This scene depicts the carpentry shop owned by Sophy Christiansen and Catherine Horsbol, who were among the first female Danish cabinet makers. Their shop operated from 1867-1955. Some of their pieces are still on the market today, particularly those done in the Art Deco style. Horsbol is seen instructing an apprentice while Christiansen has her back to the artist. Notice they are the only women in the shop - the rest are men.
