1903
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
The Yorkshire Terrier is a 1903 ink by Joseph Pennell, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a busy shop called *The Yorkshire Terrier*, packed with shelves of bottles and jars. Outside, a few people walk by, while two men inside chat near the counter. The sign above the door is clear, and the whole scene feels cramped but lively. The artist used lines to build up shadows and texture, making the bottles and shelves look almost real. This style is called etching, where acid eats into metal plates to create the image. Look up etching to see how artists like this make detailed prints.
Joseph Pennell (July 4, 1857 – April 23, 1926) was an American draftsman, etcher, lithographer, and illustrator for books and magazines.
