Visual representation of Proverbs 27:17, 'As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.' The scene is painted in the style associated with the Renaissance era, respecting traditional Christian symbolism and devotional feeling. Two individuals can be seen, one a Caucasian male, the other a Hispanic female, holding iron blades and using them to sharpen each other's blade, understanding the act as a metaphor for mutual growth and improvement. They are depicted in a serene landscape, reminiscent of the pastoral settings often used in Renaissance painting, communicating a sense of peace and reverence.
