Golden Cornice, No.II

Joseph Pennell

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a bird's-eye view of an urban landscape with tall buildings. The horizon line is high, with water and ships stretching into the distance towards a landmass. The buildings display architectural details such as domes and arches. The color palette is monochromatic, with shades of black and white. The city appears lively with detailed streets, while the background shows water and distant islands.
