The Walled City 1912

"The Walled City" is a 1912 etching by American artist Joseph Pennell (1857-1926). The artwork depicts a dramatic landscape, likely inspired by the Grand Canyon. The intricate lines and detailed shading characteristic of Pennell's style create a sense of depth and scale, emphasizing the vastness of the canyon. The use of light and shadow adds to the powerful imagery, with a sense of rain falling in the distance, creating a mood of awe and mystery.
