1919
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
The Marble Hall, Pennsylvania Station, New York is a 1919 ink by Joseph Pennell, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a crowded train station with high arched ceilings and big windows. People walk in every direction, some climbing stairs, others sitting on benches. The walls are plain, and the light comes through the windows, making the space feel busy but orderly. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to show movement and energy. The focus is on the crowd, not the details of the architecture. Look up etching to see how artists like Pennell create prints with acid and metal plates.
Joseph Pennell (July 4, 1857 – April 23, 1926) was an American draftsman, etcher, lithographer, and illustrator for books and magazines.
