Rich in colour, detail and depth, this work is part of a series of paintings celebrating the architecture and atmosphere of the London Underground.

This is platform 5 at Baker Street station, for eastbound Circle and Hammersmith & City lines trains. The view is from platform 6, with the arch of the cross-platform passageway above and the twin staircases leading up to it casting bright light into the darkened station. A familiar roundel Tube sign sits between two anonymous wooden doors.

This was part of the first subterranean railway in the world, and the scene would still be recognisable to those who travelled on the then Metropolitan Railway back in 1863.

By careful selection of perspectives and viewpoints (and by removing almost all of the people), Rebecca is able to take ordinary scenes and reveal their underlying beauty and style, which can so often go unnoticed.
