1919
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Concourse, Grand Central, New York is a 1919 ink by Joseph Pennell, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a busy indoor space with lots of people walking around. The ceiling has big arches, and light streams in through tall windows at the far end. There’s a clock hanging down in the middle, and the walls have thick columns. Some folks are carrying bags, others are talking in groups. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to pack in all those moving figures. The focus is on the crowd, not the details of any one person. If you like this style, look up etching to see how artists make prints like this.
Joseph Pennell (July 4, 1857 – April 23, 1926) was an American draftsman, etcher, lithographer, and illustrator for books and magazines.
