'Town and Country Landscape' art, NZ, 1950s

By Marcus King (1891-1983), now in the collection of Te Papa.  This is a concoction of various typically NZ elements and is not a real scene.  It's unclear why he chose to depict what looks like a steam passenger train headed by a streamlined Ka or Kb in red and white.
