New York, the Old and the New is a 1914 graphite by Joseph Pennell, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a busy city street with tall buildings and people moving around. The artist used subtle brushwork to emphasize the details of the buildings. This makes the scene feel more real and lively. The mix of old and new buildings is also interesting, showing how the city was changing at the time.
