Trolley Car c. 1930

Salvatore Pinto's "Trolley Car" (c. 1930) is a black and white print that depicts the interior of a trolley car. The scene shows several passengers seated on the benches, with a conductor standing near the entrance. The artist utilizes a stark realism, capturing the everyday routine of public transit and the passengers' various expressions. Pinto's meticulous cross-hatching technique, evident in the wood floor and the passengers' clothing, contributes to the artwork's sense of realism and depth. "Trolley Car" offers a glimpse into the daily life of early 20th-century urban dwellers and highlights the importance of public transportation during that era.
