The Fruit Stall

James McNeill Whistler

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Fruit Stall by James McNeill Whistler shows a sepia-toned sketch of people near a waterway. A raised platform or stall juts over the water. On the platform, a woman stands on the left while a man sits on the right. The platform has an awning. Behind the platform are buildings with two visible windows on the upper level. In front of and below the platform is a small boat on the water. The image is rendered in a sketchy, impressionistic style with much cross-hatching.
