"The Cobbler" is an etching by the French artist Abraham Bosse (1602–1676), created in the 17th century. Bosse was known for his detailed prints and illustrations that often depicted the social life and customs of his time. "The Cobbler" is a fine example of his work in the genre of genre scenes, which portrays the everyday life of ordinary people, in this case, a cobbler at work in his shop.

The etching is notable for its intricate detail and the insight it provides into the working conditions and social environment of tradesmen during the 17th century. Bosse's attention to detail not only captures the cobbler's concentrated expression and posture but also the array of tools and materials surrounding him, suggesting the complexity and skill involved in the trade. The artwork serves as a historical document, reflecting the fashion, interior design, and economic circumstances of the period.

Abraham Bosse was a master of the burin—an engraving tool used in the intaglio printmaking technique—and he utilized this skill to create prints with fine lines and rich textures. "The Cobbler" exemplifies his expertise in this medium, with its clear lines and careful shading contributing to a sense of depth and realism.

As an artist, Bosse was also known for his theoretical work on perspective, which is evident in the spatial composition of "The Cobbler." The perspective in the etching draws the viewer's eye into the scene, creating a sense of being in the room with the cobbler. This work not only showcases Bosse's artistic talents but also provides a window into the cultural and social history of his era.

"The Cobbler" by Abraham Bosse is held in various art collections and has been the subject of scholarly analysis in the context of art history and social studies. It remains an important work for understanding the intersection of art, society, and economy in early modern France.
