Meet the craftsmen

Two men working outdoors at a blacksmith's forge. One appears to be the blacksmith, holding tongs, with an anvil in front of him. The other man stands nearby. The setting is lush with green foliage and a brick structure. The blacksmith has a cloth tied around his head and wears gloves, while the other man wears a white T-shirt and shorts.
