About this work

You see a dark factory scene with workers walking in the foreground. The workers are small figures, but they're the main focus. The factory looms behind them, with tall chimneys and buildings, which gives a sense of the industrial era. The scene is a common one from that time, showing the daily life of workers. Check out the work of artist: Pennell, Joseph.
