Tinplate Workers
Ceri Geraldus Richards 1903 - 1971
Summary
Three figures in a receding diagonal line from left to right. All the figures face towards the right and are working with sheet metal. The figure at the centre is using long handled pincers to bend a metal sheet in half, whilst holding it down with his foot. The background is dark, with heavy use of hatching and cross-hatching but little detail.
