"Up and Down in Siena" is an etching by American artist Joseph Pennell, created in 1883. This print depicts a street scene in the Italian city of Siena, with an emphasis on the architecture and the use of light and shadow. The artist captures the steep and winding streets of Siena as they lead through a stone archway, with the silhouette of a cart and its driver in the foreground.

This print is a beautiful example of his work and is considered one of his most famous etchings.
