From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Tower Bridge, Evening is a 1905 ink by Joseph Pennell, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows a dark, moody etching of Tower Bridge in London. The bridge is centered, with the river Thames flowing beneath it. The sky above is filled with thick, grey clouds. In the foreground, the bridge's towers rise up, with the roadway and river below. The etching is done in dark, muted tones, with the bridge and surrounding buildings standing out against the lighter sky. This etching is a great example of Joseph Pennell's work. You can learn more about his technique by looking up the etching process.
Joseph Pennell (July 4, 1857 – April 23, 1926) was an American draftsman, etcher, lithographer, and illustrator for books and magazines.
