Sunset Cities in the Canyon is a 1912 ink by Joseph Pennell, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a landscape with a dark, shadowy canyon in the foreground. The canyon walls are steep and rocky, with a few trees and bushes scattered along the edges. In the background, the sky is a deep orange-red color, with a few clouds scattered across it. The painting is done in a lithograph style, with bold lines and dark shading. The overall effect is one of drama and intensity, with the dark canyon walls contrasting sharply with the bright, colorful sky.
