Francisco Pradilla Ortiz
Artistic analysis
This genre scene is shrouded in a contrast of darkness and dim light. A group of people are busy pouring molten iron from a casting ladle, whilst, on the left, another group is pushing another ladle along the casting line. The work has the quality of a sketch, perhaps serving as a study of composition and lighting.
