American artist Joseph Pennell's 1904 lithograph "Flatiron Building" depicts the iconic New York City landmark, a triangular skyscraper that dominated the city's skyline. Pennell's use of crosshatching and stippling creates a sense of depth and texture, emphasizing the building's imposing form and intricate details. The surrounding streets, bustling with pedestrians, highlight the building's position at the center of a dynamic urban scene. The lithograph captures a moment in early 20th-century New York, showcasing the city's rapid growth and modernization.
