Cleveland Museum of Art

The Little Putney, No. 1 by James McNeill Whistler. A sepia-toned etching on paper depicts a bridge over a body of water. The bridge has a flat top and a latticework pattern on its sides. It consists of several arches supported by pillars in the water. A large building with a tower to the right of the bridge. The body of water reflects the bridge and the building. The sky is clear. The paper is rectangular and has a small piece of tape with a drawing on it in the bottom-left corner. A circular monogram is also in the bottom-left corner.
