State Buildings is a 1912 ink by Joseph Pennell, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image depicts a lithograph of a street scene, with a prominent building at its center. The building features a clock tower and is flanked by smaller structures on either side. In the foreground, people are gathered near the building's entrance. The scene is rendered in a range of grays, with the building's stone façade and the surrounding streets and sidewalks depicted in varying shades of gray. The overall atmosphere of the image is one of quiet activity, with people going about their daily business in the midst of a bustling city.
