Locomotive Watering
c. 1928

An impressionistic painting depicting a steam locomotive on the tracks, billowing dark smoke into the overcast sky. A railway worker stands in the foreground, while another figure is visible in the locomotive's cab. The atmosphere is industrial and moody, with a sense of motion and activity.
