"The Cobbler" is a genre painting by the American artist Francis William Edmonds (1806–1863). Created in 1834, this work is a fine example of Edmonds' attention to detail and his interest in depicting scenes of everyday life with a touch of humor and moral commentary. The painting portrays a cobbler, a craftsman who repairs shoes, engrossed in his work, surrounded by the tools of his trade and the clutter of his workshop.

Edmonds, a banker by profession, was largely a self-taught artist who became known for his genre paintings that often included satirical elements and social commentary. "The Cobbler" reflects the artist's engagement with the American folk tradition and the burgeoning genre painting movement of the 19th century, which focused on scenes of ordinary people engaged in common activities. This movement was part of a larger trend in American art that sought to develop a distinctly American subject matter in art, separate from European influences.

"The Cobbler" is notable for its fine detail, use of light, and the cobbler's expressive face, which conveys concentration and dedication to his craft. The painting also captures the textures of the leather, tools, and the cobbler's clothing, demonstrating Edmonds' skill in rendering different materials. As with many of Edmonds' works, the painting may carry a deeper significance, possibly commenting on the value of hard work and the dignity of manual labor.

Francis W. Edmonds' "The Cobbler" is held in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, a testament to its significance in the canon of American art. The painting is an important work for understanding the social and cultural milieu of the United States in the early 19th century, as well as the development of genre painting in America.
