The painting is 17th-century and by an unknown Italian artist. The companion painting featured unclad blacksmiths.

Brothers. At left, the chair of @welshchairmaker. Mine is on the right. They are similar at first glance, but they are different once you look close.@welshchairmaker is teaching six Americans to make his lovely Welsh stick chair here this week.

And in other news, authorities participated in a pre-dawn raid of the Christopher Q. Schwarz Daycare and Furniture Manufactory. Officials received numerous complaints regarding the paper thickness in posters that Schwarz reportedly sells on his alt-anarchist blog. Known to neighbors as a recluse, Schwarz was seen being led out of the building while wearing a glittered halter top with “The Blaze” stenciled across the front. One individual who participated in the raid, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said he was shocked by what officers found when they entered the facility. When asked by this reporter for a comment on the conditions inside, Schwarz shouted, “It’s 17th century vernacular!” The law firm Underhill, Sparklepony, and Maneater will reportedly be representing Schwarz.
