Solution Preview:

From the listed work of visual art from the 1800s, the one that I prefer to complete this assignment is Honor Daumier (1808-1879), Third Class Carriage (1862-1864). It is a wonderful art work depicting the hardships faced by the people traveling in a third class carriage. The art work is an oil painting on canvas and amplifies the subject of a lithograph during the Industrial Revolution. The painting shows the quiet and hardship aptitude of people travelling in third-class railway journeys. There is an elderly mother, a nursing mother feeding her child, and a sleeping boy clearly shows the calmness in the public transport. Imagining this life is very difficult, but still if I would have lived in this era the most challenging task would have been staying calm. The life was so tough and filled with hardships, but still every face in the painting is so calm and satisfied. I would have tried a lot to come out of these challenges with efficiency.
