1912
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Offical Ancon is a 1912 ink by Joseph Pennell, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a quiet village nestled among trees and hills. Small wooden buildings with curved roofs sit along winding paths. A tall tower with a lantern stands on a hill in the distance, while power lines stretch across the left side. The artist used loose, sketchy lines to capture the scene. The signature reads "Pennell" and the year "1912" in the corner, hinting at the artist’s hand. Next, check out lithography to see how this print was made.
Joseph Pennell (July 4, 1857 – April 23, 1926) was an American draftsman, etcher, lithographer, and illustrator for books and magazines.
