Little Venice

James McNeill Whistler

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a small, detailed drawing of a distant city on the horizon. The cityscape features several buildings, including steeples. In the foreground, a body of water has darker vertical marks rising from it and reflecting the marks. The sky above the city is filled with light-colored clouds. The drawing is rendered on a beige surface with darker spots and lines throughout, and a small piece of paper with an illegible signature is affixed to the bottom edge.
