A black and white illustration depicting a muscular man in a dynamic pose, laughing as he bends a large pipe above his head. He wears a white shirt and black pants, and his expression is one of joy and exertion. In the background, a group of smaller figures appear to be fleeing or reacting to the man's display of strength. Industrial structures, including a factory with smokestacks, form the backdrop of the scene. The artwork has a signature in the bottom right corner.
