Herring's composition likely showcases the blacksmith and his apprentices engaged in the laborious task of shoeing a horse, a common yet crucial service in an era that heavily relied on horse-drawn transportation. The artwork is characterized by its realistic depiction of the figures, the play of light and shadow, and the textural contrasts between the gleaming metal, the horse's coat, and the rustic interior of the shop.
