The Avenue 1910

Joseph Pennell's 1910 etching "The Avenue" depicts a tree-lined path in a suburban setting, possibly in Europe, hinting at the artist's travels. The piece, executed in the style of Impressionism, showcases the beauty of everyday life, capturing a moment of tranquility through the use of loose, expressive lines and a focus on light and shadow. The work captures the quiet, almost melancholic, atmosphere of the scene, hinting at the passage of time and the changing nature of the industrial landscape.
