About this work

In the painting, three men are depicted in a workshop, each engaged in a different activity. The man on the left is holding a hammer above his head, while the man in the center is working on a piece of metal at a forge. The third man is standing to the right, holding a hammer up in the air. The scene is set against a dark background, with the only light coming from the flames of the forge. The overall atmosphere is one of industry and hard work. This painting is reminiscent of the works of Stanisław Lentz, an artist known for his detailed depictions of everyday life.
