OriginalRuby Loftus Screwing a Breech Ring, a World War II painting commissioned by the War Artists' Advisory Committee in 1943 and completed by Laura Knight. It depicts a young woman, Ruby Loftus (1921–2004), working at an industrial lathe as part of the British war effort in World War II, and has thus been likened to the American "Rosie the Riveter".
Reason
Something different for a change, though there is still good quality and resolution.
