Entrance to the Canal from the Pacific

Joseph Pennell

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a landscape with a body of water stretching to the horizon. Small boats are visible along the horizon. Mountains rise on both sides, with the central mountain as the focal point. The artwork is drawn with delicate, sketchy lines, creating a light feel. Clouds cover much of the sky. The scene is in monochrome, using shades of black and grey on a cream background.
