The Avenue, Valenciennes

Joseph Pennell

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a road flanked by tall, slender trees. The road extends into the distance towards a horizon with industrial buildings and chimneys. The style features delicate linework with cross-hatching and fine lines for texture and shadow. The color palette is monochrome with various shades of grey. A figure is seated on the left side of the road, and utility poles and wires run parallel on the right.
