Sketch from “Fra Smedien i Hornbæk” (The forge in Hornbæk) from 1875 (91×119 cm) at the Hirschsprung Collection.

In 1873, Krøyer spent his first summer in Hornbæk, where he painted small beach and aerial studies and genre paintings. In addition, he had two major projects running outdoors and indoors. That meant he wasn't dependent on the weather. In good weather Krøyer worked on “Fiskere ved Stokken i Hornbæk” (A gathering of fishermen on the beach) from1875 with the measurement 109×153 cm (private collection). On rainy days he went indoors and worked on “Fra Smedien in Hornbæk”.
