Sunset Work on a Rocky Island

A timber house with a patched tin roof stands on a grassy rock islet, with fish and sea creatures swimming in the water below. Six rooms hold sunset-themed work. Upstairs on the left, two collectors study jars and a glass case with magnifying glasses beside a window split between spring and snow. In the middle, a man sketches at a drafting desk under painted suns while a woman reads a sheet. At right, people point at a huge glass globe of swirling clouds and a rising sun. Downstairs, two men in overalls work a netting drum with a glowing catch, a chemist and an assistant tend four tall tubes of coloured swirls under copper pipes, and two craftspeople assemble a round panel of purple and orange glass. Glowing glass, coloured tubes and the purple and orange panel catch the sunset light, bright pieces that are quick to spot.
