Golden Cornice, No.II is a 1915 ink by Joseph Pennell, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a cityscape with tall buildings and a busy street. The buildings are drawn in black and white, with lots of details like windows and roofs. In the background, there are more buildings and what looks like a river or harbor. The artist used a technique called etching to create this picture. Etching is a way of making prints by carving a design into a metal plate. The plate is then inked and pressed onto paper to create the final image.
