James McNeill Whistler

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a black and white sketch of a city square, titled "The Piazzetta" by James McNeill Whistler. The square has several buildings, with one large tower on the left side and another large building with an archway in the center. There are people in the square, some sitting on steps and others walking around. The sky above has some clouds and birds flying. The image is drawn on a piece of paper with a light brown color, possibly aged. The drawing style is detailed with many lines and shading. The paper is rectangular and appears to be mounted on a white background. A small piece of paper is placed at the bottom.
