St. Paul's Pavement. (London)

St. Paul’s Pavement (London) is an etching by Joseph Pennell, signed in pencil by the artist. Created in the early twentieth century, it shows the lively streets surrounding St. Paul’s Cathedral, with the great dome rising above the bustle of London life. Pennell’s fine, expressive line captures the contrast between the grandeur of Wren’s architecture and the constant movement of the city below. The pencil signature adds a personal touch to this atmospheric scene, which reflects Pennell’s deep admiration for London’s architecture and his gift for portraying its energy and spirit.
