Drie mannen nemen afscheid voor het station c. 1836 - 1876

"Drie mannen nemen afscheid voor het station" (c. 1836 - 1876) by Carel Christiaan Antony Last is a lithograph depicting a poignant moment of farewell between three men at a railway station. The scene is likely set in the Netherlands, where the artist was a prominent figure in the mid-19th century. The work captures the dynamism of a bustling station with its luggage, passengers, and the looming architecture, highlighting the impact of new technologies on daily life. Last's depiction of everyday scenes, often imbued with subtle social commentary, was well-received by the Dutch public, making his work an important part of the 19th-century art scene.
