1912
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
City Hall Square and Wanamaker Building is a 1912 ink by Joseph Pennell, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a busy city scene with a large building. The Wanamaker Building is the main focus. It was a new skyscraper at the time, and the artist likely chose it for its modern feel. The details in the scene are also interesting, like the people and cars. The artist used a technique to create this image, similar to what you can learn about by looking up lithography.
Joseph Pennell (July 4, 1857 – April 23, 1926) was an American draftsman, etcher, lithographer, and illustrator for books and magazines.
