Herring's skillful use of color and composition not only highlights the physicality of the blacksmith's work but also conveys a sense of community and the importance of craftsmanship in rural society.

This painting is part of Herring's broader oeuvre that includes numerous equestrian portraits, farmyard scenes, and depictions of rural labor.
