Cutting and Turning a Big Gun is a 1916 ink by Joseph Pennell, held at National Gallery of Art.
This lithograph shows a large, dark gun being worked on by several men. The gun is in the center of the image, with men standing around it. In the background, there are other machines and tools. The men are all wearing work clothes and are focused on their task. The atmosphere is one of industry and hard work. The image is done in shades of gray, with the gun being the darkest part of the image. The men are shown in various poses, some bending over or reaching up to work on the gun. The background is somewhat blurred, with the focus being on the gun and the men working on it. This lithograph is a great example of Joseph Pennell's work, and it can be found at the National Gallery of Art, Washington.
