This is a panel called 'Welders', from Sir Stanley Spencer's famous WW2 series of eight paintings called 'Shipbuilding on the Clyde."
I think he is a very good painter but I also think those Scottish people are jolly good welders. I have never welded a ship but I expect it is very exciting. Better than welding a Dacia or a Morris Marina.
I came from Lithuania when I was very little. I learned to weld in College, and then worked for a big car manufacturer with lots of robot welders. After that, I did some general engineering, but then started to study fashion and making clothes at college. Really I would like to teach welding, but I am a woman so no-one wants me. My idol is Julie Dean - Nicaragua's most famous welder.
Great painting
