DescriptionThis is a painting depicting internal workings of a mechanical system, possibly water powered. In the upper left is a device incorporating a tap screw and cogs, linked by vertical and horizontal rectangles, presumably representing pipes, to a wheel and belt mechanism in the lower centre, which in turn is linked to a bowl shaped object in the middle right. The colouring is in shades of brown.
