A man in a black leather jacket stands on the left, holding a hammer with both hands. He is demonstrating a technique to a man on the right, who is wearing historical clothing: an orange cap, a brown and grey patterned tunic with a red trim, and red leg coverings. The man in historical clothing is holding a metal object with tongs in his left hand, and is preparing to strike it with a hammer in his right hand. Both men are looking down at the anvil, which is made of metal and sits on a thick wooden stump. The anvil is positioned between the two men. The background shows a canvas tent with wooden beams, and various blacksmithing tools and materials, including sacks and buckets, are visible. The ground is covered in grass. The lighting suggests an outdoor or semi-enclosed space.
