Greenwich Park, No. 1 1906

Joseph Pennell's 1906 etching "Greenwich Park, No. 1" captures a panoramic view of London's skyline as seen from the park. The artist uses subtle lines and shading to depict the city's buildings, factories, and the Thames River, emphasizing the industrial character of the era. The work showcases Pennell's mastery of the etching technique, creating a sense of depth and atmospheric perspective. This piece, held at the Art Institute of Chicago, is a testament to Pennell's contribution to the art of cityscapes and a historical snapshot of London in the early 20th century.
