"Smid aan het werk bij een bankschroef bij het raam" (c. 1908) by Willem Witsen (1860-1923) depicts a blacksmith working in his shop. The scene is captured in a realistic and somber style, characteristic of Witsen's artistic approach. The use of dark tones and subtle light creates a sense of intimacy and focuses attention on the blacksmith's solitary labor. The image is held in the Rijksmuseum and is a powerful representation of the working class during the early 20th century.
