"Going to Work" is a famous painting by the English artist Laurence Stephen Lowry, also known as LS Lowry. The painting depicts a typical industrial scene of the early 20th century in England, showing a group of people making their way to work in the morning.

The painting is set in a cityscape of brick buildings, factories, and chimneys, with smoke rising from them. In the foreground, a group of men and women are depicted in their work clothes, walking towards the factories. The people are portrayed in a stylized, almost caricatured manner, with elongated limbs and exaggerated features.

The figures are mostly faceless, reflecting the anonymity of the industrial worker, and their movement is depicted as a rhythmic, almost choreographed procession. The colors used in the painting are muted, with shades of brown, gray, and black dominating the scene.

"Going to Work" is an iconic work of art, and is regarded as a masterpiece of British industrial art. It is a powerful evocation of the working-class life in the early 20th century, capturing the stark realities of industrialization and urbanization in England.
