The El

A vibrant oil painting depicting several individuals seated inside a streetcar or bus. The scene is rich with color and texture, showcasing a variety of expressions and attire. Two women in the foreground, one in a red hat and the other in a fur coat, appear engrossed in their activities, with one reading a book. In the background, other passengers can be seen conversing. The windows of the vehicle offer a glimpse of the urban landscape outside.
