"Tracks and traffic" by James Edward Hervey MacDonald, painted in 1912, shows an industrial winter landscape. The foreground is littered with snow and planks, while a railway track runs through the painting. A steam locomotive puffs out of the tracks, with large clouds of smoke and steam dominating the middle ground. The background consists of industrial buildings and chimneys that also emit smoke, adding to the atmosphere of industrial activity.
The painting captures the harsh, cold environment of the industrial era, contrasting the natural snow with man-made structures and machinery. The muted colours and rendering of smoke and steam create a sense of movement and bustle in industrial life.
