Nevin Robinson Ink Locomotive Drawing - This pen and ink drawing on white wove paper by artist Nevin Robinson depicts the Nickel Plate Road Berkshire, number 765 steam locomotive. The scene is set at Station Square in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and includes detailed renderings of the locomotive, its tender, and following passenger cars, set against the architectural backdrop of the station buildings and an overhead pedestrian walkway. The artist employs a technical style characterized by fine-line work, extensive cross-hatching, and stippling to create depth and texture, particularly within the mechanical components of the engine and the plumes of steam. A handwritten inscription centered below the image reads Nickel Plate Road Berkshire, number 765 / at Station Square, pittsburgh pa nevin robinson ?. A secondary pencil signature by the artist is written vertically along the lower right margin. The work is presented in a gold-toned metal frame with a textured purple mat. The verso features a corrugated cardboard backing held in place by metal corner clips and a top-center hanging bracket. Dimensions not provided.
