Passenger, second class

This is an imaginary scene inside a very real steam train. The 1880s second class carriage features exquisite craftmanship which would be unheard of today. Sitting on the leather seat, I wonder about past passengers and the journeys they travelled.

This painting is framed with dark brown timber grain moulding, off white mat under acrylic.
