1912
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
The Walls of Pedro Miguel Lock, Panama is a 1912 by Joseph Pennell, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting depicts a construction site with a large wall and a crane. The scene is set against a light-colored background, with the wall and crane standing out in darker tones. In the foreground, railroad tracks curve around the construction area. The painting's use of contrasting light and dark tones creates a sense of depth and dimensionality. The artist's attention to detail in the construction equipment and the wall's texture adds to the overall sense of realism. If you're interested in learning more about the artist's use of light and shadow, you might want to explore the technique of chiaroscuro.
Joseph Pennell (July 4, 1857 – April 23, 1926) was an American draftsman, etcher, lithographer, and illustrator for books and magazines.
