Description

An impressionistic painting depicts a woman standing near train tracks as a train approaches. The woman, facing away from the viewer, is dressed in a dark hooded top and a long blue skirt. She stands at a train track crossing, with the characteristic black and white striped signal pole prominently displayed, and red lights are visible. The train is rendered with green and cream-colored panels, and passengers are suggested as silhouettes within the train windows. The sky above is a clear blue. The artist's brushstrokes are visible, giving the scene a textured, almost dreamlike quality.
