At the back left two workers, seen from behind, on a bench: one is reading in a sheet of paper, the other is working: on the right is the forge with a bellows. On the left one looks through the window onto the street. At the top of the board: METALARIA. Framing with blacksmith's tools. Coloured glass with purple rim.
