A vertically oriented etching and aquatint depicts an industrial scene with a tall furnace tower against a circular white glow. Dark smoke billows from the structure to our right. Below a large slanted roof, small figures work near a source of bright light. Two large vessels rest on the ground to our left, casting long shadows. The image features strong contrast and dense hatching, with a signature in the lower right corner.
