The image depicts a sketch of a large industrial interior. The industrial setting has a high ceiling with a large I-beam running across it. The walls are made of brick or concrete and have several windows with metal grating. Inside the room, several large machines are on railroad tracks. The machines are large and cylindrical, with a large wheel on one end. Several people are standing around the machines. The floor is made of concrete and has railroad tracks running through it. The sketching style is done in dark and light gray pencil on a beige background with darker spots. The overall mood of the image is one of industry and activity, with the machines and people working together to create something. The title of the work is written in the bottom-left corner and reads "The Basilica of War". The artist's signature is in the bottom-right corner.
