About this work

This sketch shows a city skyline across a body of water. Tall buildings with spires and domes line the horizon, while a bridge stretches across the middle. The lines are loose and quick, like a hurried drawing. The artist signed it in the corner—*"Pennell"*—and dated it 1910. The whole thing looks like it was made fast, almost like a quick note of what they saw. Want to see more by this artist? Check out Pennell, Joseph.
