The Gun Forge is a 1916 ink by Joseph Pennell, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows the interior of a gun forge. The room is dimly lit, with only a few windows letting in natural light. The walls and floor are made of dark stone or brick, and the ceiling is high and vaulted. In the center of the room, there is a large furnace or forge, surrounded by various tools and equipment. The atmosphere is one of industry and hard work, with the sense of heat and activity emanating from the furnace. The painting is a lithograph, created by Joseph Pennell in 1916.
