About this work

A mixed media sketch on paper of locomotive shop at Nevers, France during World War I. A large building composed of arched segments frames the right side of this drawing. In the foreground, soldiers (most likely French and American) are pushing a cart near a track switch. The scene is crowded with items typical of a rail yard: a locomotive, a construction crane, and lots of railroad track.
