Six elongated, stylized people stand behind and near columns on a train platform in this horizontal painting. The scene is loosely painted so many of the details are indistinct. The front of the platform runs along the bottom edge of the canvas, and the ceiling runs parallel to the top edge. The skin we can see is painted vanilla white or pale yellow. To our left, along a narrow sliver of the platform, a woman stands reading a newspaper held up in front of her face. Her narrow coat and spindly legs are painted with a few swipes of black, smoke gray, and butter yellow, and her head or hat is a swirl of loosely painted strokes in charcoal gray, baby blue, harvest yellow, and white. The white platform steps back in space across the right two-thirds of the composition, and four turquoise-blue pillars are spaced along that area. Closest to the reading woman, a person wearing a scarlet-red coat or dress stands with a shorter person, presumably a child, half her height and wearing a lilac-purple suit. Near the leftmost pillar, a woman wearing an ocean-blue coat and a deep, periwinkle-purple hat leans against the pillar, facing our right in profile. Near the next pillar, a man with clothing painted with long, vertical strokes of olive green stands opposite her. Beyond the two center pillars is a narrow view of a white brick wall with dark grout, with a few strokes of fuchsia pink near the opening. The sixth person stands near the rightmost pillar, facing our left in profile, wearing a broad-brimmed gray hat and gray suit. The back wall is mustard yellow, and the front face of the platform is a band of brick red along the bottom edge.
