Through the Mill
1940

A vivid painting depicting a bustling industrial scene with a large red brick building at the center. Workers are seen entering and exiting the building, crossing a bridge, and interacting in groups. The background features smaller buildings, a church, and a smokestack, with a darkening sky suggesting either dawn or dusk. The artwork captures a moment in time, likely from the early 20th century, showcasing the daily life and environment of an industrial community.
