Workshops at Washington Arsenal

Lewis Emory Walker

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a street with a large, two-story building to the right, featuring arched windows and an entrance with people. A bare tree dominates the left side of the image, with its branches stretching upward. The road runs alongside the building, leading into the distance where smaller buildings line the street. The horizon is obscured by these distant structures, giving a sense of urban continuity. The scene is in sepia tones, with clear, crisp lines and a slightly soft focus, resembling a vintage photograph.
