| Description |
The boot and shoe maker sits at his work area and attaches the leather to the sole of the shoe. He smokes a pipe, and his
posture and expression suggest sadness. A tankard is on the table next to him. A cloth (possibly a handkerchief) hangs next
to the boots and shoes are on the wall behind him.

| Notes |
Text: O! you are boot-iful, yet wax not wroth, / If I say you're the last man on the earth / That I would permit my all to
control, / Or join in the wedlock of soul with sole.
