This drawing shows a blacksmith standing next to his anvil and furnace. The blacksmith is surrounded by his equipment. The scene is simple, with smoke rising from the furnace. This drawing might be a copy of another work, which is interesting. The original might have been made by George Chinnery, but we don't know for sure. To learn more about similar drawings, look up the technique: cross-hatching.
