Whitehall Court is a 1903 ink by Joseph Pennell, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows a dark, moody cityscape at night. A river runs in the foreground, its surface rough with texture. Across the water, tall buildings with spires and windows loom against a stormy sky—thick clouds and jagged tree branches add to the heavy mood. The artist used sharp lines and deep shadows to create this eerie feel. The buildings look old and grand, but the print’s dark tones make them feel mysterious. Want to see more prints like this?
