"Segovia, The Aqueduct from Market" is a lithograph by American artist Joseph Pennell, created in 1903. The piece depicts the Roman aqueduct of Segovia, Spain, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Pennell's distinct style, known for its bold lines and dramatic chiaroscuro, captures the grandeur of the aqueduct and the bustling activity below. The lithograph's composition is notable for its vertical emphasis, with the aqueduct's arches dominating the foreground, contrasting with the crowded street below. The dark tones and expressive lines contribute to the artwork's sense of monumentality and historical significance.
