The Gate of the Temple 1907

"The Gate of the Temple" is a 1907 etching by American artist Joseph Pennell (1857-1926). The print, now located in The Art Institute of Chicago, depicts a detailed view of a street scene with several buildings in the background, including a prominent structure with a large archway at street level. The scene is captured in a graphic, detailed style and is typical of Pennell's prolific work that captured architectural details, cityscapes, and landscapes. The etching is a fine example of the artist's work and captures the charm of early 20th century city life.
