This painting depicts a machinist at work at a lathe in a factory. The subject of work and of Wales's working class communities were what interested the artist, Tony Evans. Evans knew the industries of south Wales (coal mining, tinplate making and other heavy industries) well. He became a full-time artist following his retirement from industry. He experimented with a number of styles and some of his most successful works bear a resemblance to stained glass, with its black outlines and jewel-like colours.
