The image shows an industrial steel mill complex beyond a weathered fence. The factory structures dominate the middle of the image with smokestacks and metal frameworks against a partially cloudy sky. A row of workers walks alongside a wall with the words "POST NO BILLS." The artwork uses sharp lines and shades for contrast and depth in a monochromatic color palette of gray tones.
