Christ Church, St. Louis is a 1919 ink by Joseph Pennell, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting depicts a cityscape with a prominent church in the center. The church's Gothic architecture is detailed, with tall spires and intricate stone carvings. The surrounding buildings are less detailed, but they add to the sense of a bustling city. In the foreground, a street runs along the bottom of the painting, with people and horse-drawn carriages visible. The sky above is a light gray, with a few wispy clouds. The artist's use of lithography creates a sense of texture and depth in the painting. To learn more about this technique, explore the world of lithography.
