Paul Detlefsen Village Blacksmith Litho - 28 x 52 in. This textured lithographic print, titled The Village Blacksmith, depicts a nostalgic nineteenth-century American rural scene. The composition is centered on a brick blacksmith shop where a blacksmith works at an anvil, accompanied by a white horse tethered outside. Several children are shown playing nearby, including a boy with a red wagon, all positioned beneath the sprawling canopy of a large chestnut tree. A horse-drawn carriage and a stone bridge are visible in the background.
