A horizontally oriented print in black ink depicts a cavernous industrial workshop beneath a vaulted, glass-paned ceiling. In the left foreground, a person with a light skin tone operates machinery while facing our right. To our right, another machine rests on the floor. In the center, a massive hook hangs from an overhead beam above clusters of small figures. Sketchy lines and heavy hatching create dark shadows throughout the vast interior.
