The traditional anvil is stood on a log end that has bands around it. The smith is wearing trousers and a tee shirt and is also attired with an apron. He has a full head of hair and moustache and is head is tilted forward with a look of concentration. In his right hand he has a hammer that is raised above his right shoulder ready to make the next blow on the horse shoe he is working on. His left hand is holding a pair of pincers with which he is holding the horse shoe. The horse shoe looks almost complete.
