"The Steps" is a 1904 etching by American artist Joseph Pennell. Depicting the grand facade of a neoclassical building with a set of steps leading up to it, Pennell captures the bustling scene of people navigating the steps. This artwork, which is currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, reflects Pennell's expertise in capturing the dynamic energy of urban life, using the medium of etching to create a sense of depth and detail.
