"The Ironworker's Noontime" is an oil painting by American artist Thomas Pollock Anshutz, created in 1880. The artwork is a significant piece in the canon of American realism, depicting a group of ironworkers during their break from labor at a foundry in Wheeling, West Virginia. Anshutz, who was a student of Thomas Eakins and later became an influential teacher in his own right, is known for his realistic portrayals of American life and industry in the late 19th century.

The painting measures 17 x 23 7/8 inches (43.2 x 60.6 cm) and is part of the collection at the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco. "The Ironworker's Noontime" is notable for its candid and unidealized representation of the working class, a subject that was not commonly depicted in fine art at the time. Anshutz's attention to detail and his use of light and shadow capture the physicality of the workers and the industrial environment in which they toil.

The composition features a group of laborers in various states of rest and leisure, some shirtless and others in work attire, suggesting the heat and intensity of their working conditions. The scene is set outside the foundry, with industrial structures and smokestacks in the background, emphasizing the connection between the workers and the burgeoning American industrial landscape.

As an important work in Anshutz's oeuvre, "The Ironworker's Noontime" reflects the artist's interest in social realism and the human condition. It also serves as a historical document of the era's industrialization and the everyday lives of the workers who powered it. The painting is often discussed in the context of American labor history and the development of realist art in the United States.
