The Forge by James McNeill Whistler: A black and white sketch depicting a scene inside a forge or blacksmith's workshop. Three men are present, with one wearing a cap and apron standing to the left, another bending over an anvil in the center, and a third man wearing a hat to the right of him. A young child stands near the center-right, and an adult, possibly a woman, sits on the right side. The background features various tools hanging on the walls and a large opening or window. The overall atmosphere appears dimly lit, with significant contrast between light and shadow. The sketch is signed in the bottom-right corner.
