The illustration depicts a man in a workshop. He is standing in a side profile, with short, wavy hair and his focus directed downward. He is wearing a long-sleeved shirt with rolled-up sleeves and a vest or apron covering his torso. The man is holding a tool or object in his hand. The setting is a blacksmith workshop, with various tools visible, including prominent anvils. A workbench on the right side is cluttered with tools. Light enters through a large window, revealing some greenery outside. Another small window on the left shows the exterior of a building and vegetation. The artwork uses crosshatching and line work to capture the textures of the workshop environment.
