Independence Hall 

Salvatore Pinto's "Independence Hall" is a delicate etching depicting a bustling scene outside the iconic landmark. The detailed lines capture the bare branches of trees lining the street, hinting at a winter setting. The building itself, with its prominent steeple, stands prominently in the background, while a lively crowd of pedestrians fills the foreground, adding a sense of everyday life to the scene. Pinto's subtle use of line and shading creates a sense of depth and atmosphere, making the scene feel both familiar and timeless. This etching is a beautiful example of Pinto's skills as a printmaker and his interest in capturing the everyday life of Philadelphia.
