The Elevated Railroad at 110th Street

Rachael Robinson Elmer

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a view from the ground looking up towards an elevated railroad at 110th Street. The horizon is obscured by the railroad's structure and tall trees alongside it. In the distance, the elevated track is visible with a passing train. Tall trees frame the view, depicted with quick brushstrokes. A staircase is partially visible with a few figures on it. The color palette includes muted greens and browns for trees and the ground, contrasted with reddish-orange and brown tones of the elevated structure and distant buildings.
