Little Salute

James McNeill Whistler

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image titled "Little Salute" by James McNeill Whistler depicts a landscape drawing. The drawing is rendered in shades of gray on a rectangular piece of paper with a rough texture. The scene shows a body of water with buildings along the horizon line. On the left side of the horizon line, there is a prominent domed building. The water occupies most of the image and reflects the buildings. The sky above appears mostly clear. The horizon line is roughly one-third from the top of the image. The artist's signature is written on a small piece of paper attached to the bottom left corner of the main paper. The entire piece is mounted on a plain white background.
