Dominant colour
Shot is a 1916 ink by Joseph Pennell, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a cityscape with a tall tower in the center. The tower is surrounded by water, and there are trees and buildings in the foreground. The sky is dark, and there are several lights shining from the tower and the surrounding buildings. The painting is done in a dark, muted color palette, with shades of gray and brown dominating the scene. The brushstrokes are loose and expressive, giving the painting a sense of energy and movement. The painting is a lithograph, a technique that involves creating an image on a stone or metal plate and then transferring it to paper. This technique allows for a high level of detail and texture, which is evident in the painting's intricate depiction of the cityscape. If you're interested in learning more about this technique, you might want to look into lithography.
