Description

An artisan is working with molten glass inside of a fiery furnace. The artisan's hand is visible, holding a long metal tool used to shape the glass. The furnace is a dark metal enclosure with an opening revealing the intense orange glow of the heated glass inside. Two long metal rods extend into the furnace, presumably also used for manipulating the glass. The area around the furnace has drips and spills, likely from the glassmaking process. The environment suggests a workshop dedicated to the craft of glassblowing.
