From the collection of National Gallery of Art
West Door, St. Paul's is a 1903 ink by Joseph Pennell, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting is an etching of the West Door of St. Paul's, a grand and imposing structure. The door is flanked by tall columns and ornate carvings, with a large archway above it. The surrounding architecture is detailed, with intricate stone work and a sense of grandeur. The etching is done in a dark, muted tone, with the door and surrounding architecture standing out against a lighter background. The artist has used bold lines and shading to create depth and texture, giving the impression of a real, three-dimensional space. The painting is a beautiful example of the artist's skill with etching, and a testament to the enduring beauty of St. Paul's Cathedral.
