A horizontally oriented print in black ink with dense, sketchy lines depicts a forge interior. On the left, a man in a cap and apron stands beside a glowing white furnace. In the center, two men in hats lean over a large anvil. To the right, three figures, including a child, occupy a shadowed area. Heavy hatching creates dark tones throughout, and a signature and date appear in the lower right corner.
