Toy Train

Francis Law Durand

National Gallery of Art

The image displays a drawing of a toy train consisting of three connected parts: an engine at the front, a flatbed car in the middle, and a caboose at the rear. The color palette includes red, brown, black, grey, and vivid red in the string. The train is positioned diagonally across the upper part of the image from the bottom left to the top right. There is a smaller inset on the bottom right showing a side view of the caboose with a circular opening and a set of wheels.
