The Smith's Yard by James McNeill Whistler: A black and white sketch on beige paper depicting a scene with several horses and people. A large horse stands in the center, facing left. Two smaller horses are on the right. Three people stand to the left of the horses. A building with a sloping roof and a window is in the background. The horses and people are drawn with varying levels of detail, with darker shading used for the building and horses. The overall style is loose and expressive.
