Rossetti's House

Joseph Pennell

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a view from street level, looking towards an ornate building behind a decorative wrought-iron fence with grand gates. The scene shows the intricate detailing of the building, adorned with foliage. The roofline is highlighted by a statue on top. The artwork appears to be an etching, with fine lines and cross-hatching providing texture to both the building and foliage. The color palette is monochromatic, using shades of brown and beige. Two figures walk along the street, adding scale and life to the scene. Trees frame the composition on the right side.
