'Industrial Arts Applied to War' is a study of figures in the courtyard of a wealthy palace. There are numerous people gathered in a courtyard to participate in learning how to prepare for war: women sit sewing uniforms, men stand getting fitted for armor, handling swords, sighting cross-bows, and talking.
