Resumo

This article explores the complex visual and iconographic content in the painting of 1852–65, particularly the “work” in Work, and the relationship between its differing narrative and iconographic threads. The symbolism, narrativity, and association of word to image in Work are examined in light of Brown's idiosyncratic character and life style, as well as a specific urban semiotica that had developed concerning water supply in mid-19th-century England.
