A full-figure representation of a blacksmith at work.
The man is dressed only in a loincloth. The falling material moves with the movement, emphasizing the model's musculature.
In his right hand he holds a forged object, while his left hand rests on a heavy hammer with an anvil. From under his furrowed brows emerges an inquisitive look, coolly assessing the progress of the ordered work
