About this work

You see a busy city scene with a big building and small figures in the foreground. The artist used sketch-like brushstrokes to show movement and texture. This creates a lively feeling in the artwork. The contrast between the sharp buildings and the soft clouds is interesting. Check out the work of artist: Pennell, Joseph to see more city scenes like this one.
