Westminster, Evening

Joseph Pennell

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a cityscape at night, featuring an illuminated bridge and silhouetted buildings against the night sky. The brushstrokes are soft and diffused, creating a misty effect. The color palette includes black, gray, and soft glowing lights reflecting off the water. A prominent dark building is on the right, and the bridge arches over the water with reflections of lights.
