Joseph Pennell

Orange Street, Brooklyn
1924

This is an etching depicting a quaint urban scene with a focus on a park. The foreground shows a fence-lined walkway with figures strolling and children playing. In the background, there are detailed outlines of buildings with distinct architectural features, including towers and windows, surrounded by foliage. The artwork has a sketch-like quality with fine lines and shading, conveying a sense of liveliness and depth. The artist's signature is visible in the lower right corner. The paper appears aged with slightly frayed edges, adding to the vintage feel of the piece.
