Oil painting depicting a group of industrial workers in a forge or workshop setting. The central figures are engaged in heavy labor, with one man in the foreground hammering a piece of metal on an anvil, and another to his right operating a large mechanical device. The workers are dressed in work clothes and caps, suggesting a historical or early industrial era. The background features additional workers and the hazy, warm glow of the work environment.
