From the collection of National Gallery of Art
La Place, Beauvais is a 1907 ink by Joseph Pennell, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching depicts a bustling city square, with a large church or cathedral in the background. The square is filled with people going about their daily business, and there are several market stalls and shops lining the streets. In the foreground, a few people are gathered around a cart, while others are walking or standing in the square. The atmosphere appears to be lively and active, with a sense of community and commerce. The etching is done in a detailed and realistic style, with a focus on capturing the textures and patterns of the buildings and the people's clothing. For more on etching, check out etching.
