"Summer Day in Madrid" is a black and white drawing by Joseph Pennell, dating back to 1903. This piece captures the bustling activity of a city square in Madrid, Spain. The quick, expressive lines and loose brushstrokes convey a sense of movement and energy, highlighting the dynamic nature of urban life. Pennell's signature style of drawing, known for its emphasis on capturing the essence of a place, is evident in this artwork, as he beautifully depicts the architectural details and the pedestrian activity of the city. The drawing is held in The Art Institute of Chicago.
