The Stock Exchange

Joseph Pennell

National Gallery of Art

The image is an etching of a busy urban street scene. The viewpoint looks down a city avenue surrounded by tall buildings. The horizon is not visible due to the tall structures. The etching technique shows intricate details of the architecture with sharp lines. The color palette is monochromatic with blacks and beiges. The street is crowded with small figures of people, and the buildings show elaborate facades and windows as they extend into the distance.
