In the expressive oil study of the landscape, painted during his time in the State Labor Service, Friedrich Neubauer depicts the scene in a simplified manner and with expressive colors. The landscape outlined with dark strokes, the black steaming engine, the rails petering out into nothing give the picture three-dimensionality and movement. The color of the smoke is blended dramatically with the color of the sky. The atmosphere of the moment is expressed spontaneously.
