Who'll Turn the Grindstone? is a 1850 by William Sidney Mount, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows two men standing in a room, engaged in a conversation. The man on the left is wearing a hat and holding a cloth in his right hand, while the man on the right is looking at him with a puzzled expression. The room is sparsely furnished, with a bench or table in the center and a few scattered objects on the floor. The atmosphere is one of quiet contemplation, with the two men lost in thought. For more information on the artistic style of this painting, look up Romanticism.
