In the Anchor-Forge at Söderfors. The Smiths Hard at Work, Unknown date. Additional Info: The painting shows a realistic scene of the forge, where the then world famous anchors of Söderfors were being made, many of which were exported to England. The owner of this specific ironwork, Adolf Ulrik Grill, commissioned the monumental interior of his anchor-forge in 1782. He is himself visible in the picture, as the well-dressed man to the right inviting a group of fancy visitors into the dark and dramatically lit room.
