"New Shoes" by Loren Entz.
The gentleman outside the blacksmith's shop, a father, has brought his young Percheron draft horse to be shod. His young son has tagged along with his own wagon. The blacksmith, noticing that the boy's shoe is untied, shows kindness by retying it. In the corner, an old timer spends part of the day next to the potbelly stove, reading the paper. 31" x 22". $150. Signed and numbered. Limited edition of 850.
