DescriptionThe image is dominated by two male figures riding on a steel girder suspended in the air. Both figures are clothed in shades of brown; the one seated to the left appears to be wearing coveralls, while the one standing on the right wears overalls and a sling tee shirt. The standing figure wears a cap and work gloves, pointing with his left hand down to the ground. Below the rust colored girder is an urban cityscape. The sky is filled with stylized clouds.On View
