Toy Locomotive

Alice Stearns

National Gallery of Art

This is a painting of a toy steam locomotive and tender. The painting includes a detailed representation of a black and gold steam locomotive with red wheels, a large smokestack, and a cab labeled "Fayram." There is a small tender behind the locomotive with a decorative panel depicting a landscape scene. Above the main image and to the right, there is a pencil sketch of a small carriage-like vehicle. The artwork showcases a meticulous depiction of a toy train with attention to colors and proportions, in the style of early 19th-century toy illustrations.
