The painting depicts two figures engaged in manual work. One figure is in the foreground while the other recedes into the background. Pink, red, blue and dark brown colours appear to have been used. This use of raw and vibrant colors is synonymous with the artist. Jimoh Akolo portrays local blacksmiths at work.
