Created by an anonymous American artist during the early 19th century, this piece of art beautifully captures the essence of manual labor and craftsmanship. The image depicts two hardworking men engaged in their daily work at a steel mill in America. With focused expressions on their faces, they skillfully handle various tools and apparatuses associated with steelwork.
