Sleeping Car II 

"Sleeping Car II" is an etching by American artist James L. Hendershot, known for his detailed and often somber depictions of everyday life. This work, with its shadowy interior and fleeting glimpse of figures, captures a moment of quiet contemplation within a train car. Hendershot's use of cross-hatching and a limited tonal range creates a sense of depth and atmosphere, lending the scene an air of intimacy and mystery. The artwork’s focus on the interior of a train car, a space of both transit and isolation, suggests the artist's interest in exploring the human experience within the modern world.
