1904
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Great College Street, Westminster is a 1904 ink by Joseph Pennell, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows old brick buildings with tall windows and crumbling walls. A few people walk along a narrow street, and bare trees line the sides. The scene looks worn, like it’s been around for a long time. The artist used a scratchy, textured style to show every crack and shadow. It’s not smooth—it feels rough, like the buildings themselves.

Joseph Pennell (July 4, 1857 – April 23, 1926) was an American draftsman, etcher, lithographer, and illustrator for books and magazines.
