Trente secondes de station is a 1843 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This lithograph depicts a chaotic scene at a train station, with people rushing to board or exit a train. A man in a top hat is shown jumping from the train, while others are packed tightly inside or standing on the platform. The image conveys a sense of urgency and chaos, with the crowded train and frantic passengers creating a sense of energy and movement. The artist's use of bold lines and shading adds depth and texture to the scene. If you're interested in learning more about this style of art, you might want to explore the Romanticism movement.
