Café Tuilleries 1893

"Café Tuileries" is an etching by American artist Joseph Pennell, created in 1893. This delicate print, now housed in the Minneapolis Institute of Art, depicts a bustling scene outside a Parisian café, with patrons seated at tables beneath the shade of trees. Pennell's style is characterized by his use of light and shadow to create depth and atmosphere, capturing the movement of people and the vibrancy of Parisian street life. The etching's small size (4 3/8 x 6 1/4 in.) adds to its intimacy and allows the viewer to feel like they are part of the lively scene.
