The image showcases two male blacksmiths engrossed in their laborious task, surrounded by an array of tools and equipment. Notably, both men are donning heavy leather aprons as a protective measure against the scorching heat emanating from molten metal and burning charcoal. These aprons serve as a shield to safeguard their bodies from potential harm while working tirelessly at the forge.
