DescriptionA lithograph on a sheet of vertical white paper depicting a steelworker standing in front of molten steel being poured out of a bucket. The worker is shirtless and wears an orange helmet and jeans. He has dark skin and curly hair and stands at a three-quarter angle with his right hand on his belt and his left hand holding a large wrench at his side. The bucket pouring steel is behind the worker's head, with the orange, red, and yellow steel streaming down to the right of the worker. The rest of the background is covered in thick grey, yellow, and red smoke with a small flame visible between the man's legs.On View
