Edward Hopper

(The Railroad)
1906–1907

A vintage drawing depicting a bustling train station scene with passengers boarding a train. People are dressed in early 20th-century attire, with men wearing hats and women in long dresses. A conductor is visible in the foreground, and the background features the silhouette of buildings against the sky. The artwork has a sepia tone, adding to its historical feel.
