Tower Bridge, Evening

Joseph Pennell

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a riverside with a maritime scene. The point of view is slightly elevated, providing a view of the river with sailing ships and boats. The horizon is in the middle of the image, with the Tower Bridge in the distance. There are structures emitting smoke that blends with the sky. The artwork uses an etching technique with fine lines and cross-hatching. The color palette is sepia tones, giving it a vintage look. The background shows city structures fading into mist.
