Toy Locomotive c. 1936

"Toy Locomotive" is a watercolor painting by Alice Stearns, created around 1936. The painting depicts a detailed toy locomotive, likely a representation of a popular 19th-century design. Stearns captures the intricate details of the steam engine, including its black boiler, brass fittings, and red wheels. The artist's use of color and light creates a sense of realism, making the toy locomotive appear almost life-size. The painting is a testament to the enduring appeal of toys and the importance of play in childhood.
