Any ideas on what this man has on his lap and in his hand?

Whoa, congrats on bringing us something baffling! :angel: Great image. He doesn't look like a smith, with cravat, etc. but seems to be one- tin? Tool he's holding looks to have been what he used to form that even crimping, can't imagine what other metal would have been soft enough- Oh hang on. Copper? My guess ( for what it's worth ), tin or copper smith?
