1916
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
By-Products is a 1916 ink by Joseph Pennell, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a busy train yard with tracks curving into the distance. Buildings and cranes loom in the background, while people and equipment fill the foreground. The lines are loose and sketchy, almost like a quick note of what the artist saw. The title *By-Products* hints this might be about industry or leftover scraps—maybe the clutter of a working yard. The artist signed it "Pennell" in the corner, but the style looks fast and rough. Want to see more of this artist’s work? Check out Pennell, Joseph.
