The Marble Arch

Joseph Pennell

National Gallery of Art

The image shows an etching of a street view with a central archway flanked by two tall buildings. Trees surround the scene with detailed leaves. Streets converge towards the horizon. Figures and a horse-drawn carriage are visible beyond the arch, with people closer to the foreground. The color palette is monochromatic with black and white tones. The artwork captures architecture and natural elements with precision and delicacy, creating a serene urban setting.
