Dong Kingman

The El and Snow
1946

A vibrant watercolor painting depicting an urban scene with an elevated train structure. The intricate metalwork of the train tracks casts shadows on the street below, where traffic lights, street signs, and a classic lamppost are visible. Splashes of red and green from storefronts and vehicles add color to the scene, and the word "BUS" is marked on the pavement, indicating a bus stop. Reflections on the wet street suggest recent rain. The artist's signature, "KINGMAN," is in the lower right corner.
