A TINTED OCCUPATIONAL
OF A 
BLACKSMIH  vPLUS HIS WIFE.

Superb portrait of a blacksmith bracing a tinted horseshoe on the anvil with one hand and holding a hammer with the other. Note that his sleeves are red and his jewelery has been highlighted with gold.
The woman, presumably his wife, fills the frame and looks right at us wearing a bright plaid dress.
