About this work

This painting shows a large, old building in the middle of a city street. It's a big, stone building with columns and a dome on top. There are people walking around on the street, and other tall buildings on either side. The artist used a lot of dark lines and shadows to make the buildings look old and serious. The street is empty except for the people, and the sky above is light and hazy. If you want to learn more about the artist who made this painting, you should look up Pennell, Joseph.
