"St. Eligius in His Workshop" is a 1449 oil painting by the Early Netherlandish painter Petrus Christus. The artwork is notable for its detailed depiction of the interior of a 15th-century goldsmith's workshop, providing a rare glimpse into the daily life and social conditions of the time. The painting features St. Eligius, the patron saint of goldsmiths and metalworkers, as the central figure, and is celebrated for its use of perspective, attention to detail, and the portrayal of secular and sacred themes.

In the painting, St. Eligius is shown in the act of weighing a ring, which he has either made or is appraising. The scene is set against a backdrop of a well-ordered workshop filled with the tools of the goldsmith's trade, and includes a couple believed to be engaging in a betrothal ceremony, emphasizing the role of the goldsmith in contemporary social customs. The work is rich with symbolic elements and iconography, such as the presence of a falcon, which may allude to the virtue of chastity, and a hanging vase that could symbolize the Virgin Mary.

Petrus Christus, a successor to Jan van Eyck, is known for his contributions to the development of landscape and genre painting in the Northern Renaissance. "St. Eligius in His Workshop" is considered one of his masterpieces and is often cited for its early use of linear perspective, which was a relatively new technique in Northern European art at the time. The painting is housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City and remains an important work for the study of Northern Renaissance art and the social history of the period.
