I don’t know for sure, but I am pretty certain this little boy is the coppersmith’s child. Like other trades, I was told they have been handed down from their families for generations. Is the child going to grow up and inherit his father’s trade?
The coppersmith actually “carved” the intricate details impromptu – no tracing paper is used to trace the pattern onto the copper piece he’s working on. Oh well, they are not called les artisants for nothing!
It is not uncommon, I was told, for them to smoke marijuana to be creative with their work.
Reminds me of the advertising industry....
