This painting shows a landscape with a large aqueduct in the background. The aqueduct has many arches and is painted in shades of gray and brown. In the foreground, there are trees and bushes in shades of green, and a railroad track runs through the center of the image. The artist has used a lot of detail to paint the aqueduct and the surrounding landscape. The trees and bushes are painted in loose brushstrokes, giving the painting a sense of movement and energy. The painting is held at the Art Institute of Chicago. You might also want to look up the artist, Armand Guillaumin.
