This etching, "Royal Windsor," by American artist Joseph Pennell (1857-1926), depicts Windsor Castle in the English countryside. The artwork, created in 1903, is a fine example of Pennell's distinctive style of etching, showcasing his mastery of line and detail. He captures the majesty of the castle against a backdrop of foliage, hinting at the peaceful tranquility of the surrounding landscape. The etching, housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, serves as a reminder of Pennell's contribution to the art of etching and his enduring fascination with the architecture and landscapes of Europe.
