Work Description:
|
A huge steam engine is pictured rumbling into view at the right side of this small, colorful watercolor painting. The viewer's perspective is located below and to the left of the train, thus making the train appear larger and more prominent. A bright orange water tower is seen just to the left of the train. Hazy blue mountains are just visible behind these two main forms, and the foreground is composed of bright red, yellow, and blue vegetation.
