You see a lithograph of industrial buildings and smokestacks in this painting. It's a scene of factories and workers. The artist likely drew from real-life experiences, which makes this work interesting because it shows a side of life that wasn't often depicted in art at the time. You can learn more about this style by looking into the technique: lithography.
