Joseph Pennell

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white drawing of a gun shop interior. Large cylindrical objects, likely cannons or guns, lie horizontally on supports. People, mostly men in hats, are working around the objects. Some are standing, some are sitting. There are mechanical devices, tools, and equipment scattered throughout the room. The room has a high ceiling with beams. Windows are visible on the back wall. A large gear or wheel is on the right side. The drawing is detailed with many lines and shading. The overall atmosphere suggests a busy industrial setting. The drawing is titled "The Gun Shop".
