The Institute, Piccadilly

Joseph Pennell

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of an ornate building facade featuring intricate line work capturing a street scene with a building that has detailed architectural embellishments and carvings. The structure includes grand archways, decorative floral patterns, and symbolic sculptures. Above the entrance, there is an elaborate metalwork arch with the word 'Entrance.' On either side of the building's entrance, signs and ticket booths suggest a place of entertainment. The drawing style evokes late 19th to early 20th-century pen and ink illustrations.
