Building the Freidrich-Strasse Station is a 1921 ink by Joseph Pennell, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image depicts a bustling cityscape, with a large train station as its central focus. The station's imposing structure dominates the scene, surrounded by a network of tracks and trains. In the foreground, people are shown going about their daily business, while the background features a mix of buildings and smokestacks. The artist's use of lithography creates a sense of depth and texture, with bold lines and shading that add to the overall atmosphere of the scene. The image is rendered in a range of grays, from light to dark, which helps to create a sense of contrast and visual interest. For more information on this artist's work, check out Pennell, Joseph.
