1923
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
New York Stock Exchange is a 1923 ink by Joseph Pennell, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a tall, busy building with lots of vertical lines and scaffolding. The structure has a steep roof and columns, giving it a mix of old and new looks. Shadows and light play across the surface, making some parts darker than others. The artist used sharp, quick lines to show the building’s details, almost like a sketch made fast. This style makes the scene feel alive and temporary. Look up etching to see how artists like this create prints with acid and metal plates.
Joseph Pennell (July 4, 1857 – April 23, 1926) was an American draftsman, etcher, lithographer, and illustrator for books and magazines.
