About this work

A man crouches barefoot on a dirt floor, hammering metal on an anvil. His torso is bare, and he wears a wrapped cloth around his waist. A small fire glows under the metal, and tools lie scattered nearby. Behind him, a wooden door and a pole lean against the wall. This scene is one of many paintings showing everyday jobs. The bright colors and simple shapes suggest it’s meant to be easy to understand. Look up Realism next to see more paintings like this.
