The Big Mill, Gary, Indiana

Joseph Pennell

National Gallery of Art

The image features an industrial scene with towering structures and smokestacks. The horizon is obscured by dense smoke and a network of factory buildings. The drawing style uses cross-hatching and bold lines to convey texture and depth. The color palette is monochromatic, with black and gray shades against a light background. Railway tracks lead towards a large industrial building, with smokestacks releasing dark smoke in the background.
