Study for Gas
1940

A charcoal sketch depicting a rural landscape with a train station platform in the foreground. There are three circular lights on tall posts, a small building to the right, and train tracks that curve into the distance. The background features rolling hills and a vast sky with light shading, suggesting either dawn or dusk.
