La Tamise (The Thames) 1894

Joseph Pennell's 1894 etching, "La Tamise (The Thames)," captures the hazy, atmospheric quality of London's iconic river. The print, which depicts a view of the Thames with a bridge and boats, uses soft lines and subtle shading to convey the mist and light of the scene. The composition is balanced, drawing the viewer's eye to the center where the river is calm and reflective. This artwork showcases Pennell's expertise in capturing urban landscapes, particularly the fleeting moments of light and shadow.
