A Chinese blacksmith is a 10 by George Chinnery, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This is a quick sketch by George Chinnery from 1831. It shows a blacksmith at work, hammering metal on an anvil under a straw roof. You can see the furnace and bellows beside him. The artist used simple tools to build a scene full of motion and warmth. On the back of the sheet, Chinnery added small pencil sketches of a dog and some buildings.
