William Wilson Corcoran is a 1884 gouache by Joseph Pennell, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting shows an elderly man standing with a hat in his left hand and a walking stick in his right. He looks confident and stern, with distinct features that show his character. The artist used a lot of detail to draw him. This portrait is a good example of Joseph Pennell's work, and to learn more about similar styles, look up the technique: gouache.
Joseph Pennell (July 4, 1857 – April 23, 1926) was an American draftsman, etcher, lithographer, and illustrator for books and magazines.
