This black-and-white drawing shows two people working on a set of train tracks at night. One person is bending down, adjusting something near the rails, while the other stands with a toolbox, facing away. A sliver of moon hangs in the dark sky, and power lines stretch into the distance. The artist signed it in the corner, but there’s no title—just the names of the two workers printed below. The scene feels quiet and focused, like a snapshot of everyday labor. If you like this, check out lithography to see how artists make prints like this one.
