Which artwork is titled The Railway Station and created in 1862?

• A. Monet - Gare Saint Lazare (1877)
• B. Yilan Folk Song - Drip, Drip, Drip (c. 1924)
• C. Frith - The Railway Station (1862)
• D. Steve McCurry - Train Station, Agra (1983)

Answer: (C)

This question tests recognizing a work by its exact title and year. The painting that matches is The Railway Station, created in 1862 by William Powell Frith. Frith, a British painter, is known for busy scenes of Victorian life, and this work captures the crowd and activity of a mid-19th‑century railway station, reflecting how rail travel was transforming society at that time. Other options don’t fit the date or the title: Monet’s Gare Saint-Lazare is from 1877 and depicts a Paris train station with a different style and subject; the Yilan Folk Song piece is not from 1862 and isn’t titled The Railway Station; Steve McCurry’s Train Station, Agra is a modern photograph from 1983.
