Egglestone Abbey, from the River 1899

"Egglestone Abbey, from the River" is an 1899 etching by American artist Joseph Pennell. The artwork is a view of Egglestone Abbey, a ruined abbey in County Durham, England, seen from the perspective of a riverbank. Pennell's use of fine, cross-hatched lines and a light-filled background creates a sense of depth and atmosphere, highlighting the architectural details of the abbey. The Art Institute of Chicago houses this piece, which exemplifies Pennell's mastery of etching as a medium.
