"Tower Bridge, Evening" is an etching by American artist Joseph Pennell, completed in 1905. The artwork depicts the iconic Tower Bridge in London, England, at dusk. Pennell's masterful use of line and shading captures the bridge's intricate architecture, the bustling activity of the Thames River, and the soft light of the setting sun. This piece is a testament to Pennell's ability to portray urban landscapes with an impressive combination of realism and artistic expression. This etching is an example of the City Beautiful movement, a period of urban planning and development that emphasized beauty and order.
