Which artwork shows a steam train passing through a coastal setting?

Steve McCurry - Train Station, Agra (1983) Yoshitoshi - Railroad at Takanawa (1871) Artschwager - Six in Four (2015) Kant on beauty

Correct Answer:

Yoshitoshi - Railroad at Takanawa (1871)

Explanation:

Recognize a scene that pairs a steam locomotive with a coastal landscape. Yoshitoshi’s Railroad at Takanawa, a woodblock print from 1871, shows a steam train moving along a coastal route near Takanawa, with the sea and ships visible in the background. That combination of a steam engine and seaside setting matches the description exactly. The other options don’t fit: a photo of a train station in Agra is urban and inland, a contemporary sculpture isn’t a train scene, and Kant on beauty is a philosophical text image rather than a depiction of a train by the coast.
