Independence Hall

Childe Hassam

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a historic building with a clock tower and a spire at the center. The style is defined by precise linear etchings and controlled brushstrokes creating texture. Leafless trees frame the building. The color palette is monochromatic with shades of black and gray. Other buildings and architectural elements are visible on both sides of the central structure.
