The New Gun-Pit is a 1916 ink by Joseph Pennell, depicting Factory, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see a dark and moody scene of a gun pit in this lithograph. The details are what make this work interesting. It's a depiction of a World War I scene, which was a significant event at the time. The artist's use of shading and texture adds depth to the image. This style is similar to what you'd see if you looked up the technique: lithography.
Joseph Pennell (July 4, 1857 – April 23, 1926) was an American draftsman, etcher, lithographer, and illustrator for books and magazines.
