Doorway, Wyck 1912

Joseph Pennell's "Doorway, Wyck," a 1912 etching, captures the detailed beauty of a quaint doorway. The architectural detail of the doorway is emphasized by the contrast of the intricate latticework of the pergola and the smooth wood panels. The lush greenery framing the entrance adds a sense of natural depth, drawing the viewer's eye through the doorway and into a glimpse of a garden beyond. Pennell's mastery of light and shadow adds a sense of realism to the scene, further enhancing the visual depth of the composition.
