Drury Lane

James McNeill Whistler

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image "Drury Lane" by James McNeill Whistler depicts a street scene with a row of buildings. The buildings have a flat roof that extends over the sidewalk, supported by pillars. The buildings are two stories high, with five small rectangular windows on the second story. A flowerpot hangs from the roof. The first floor of the building has two visible entrances and what appears to be a shop or storefront. There are people outside on the sidewalk and in the street, including a woman with a child, two other children on the left side of the image, and another child on the right side. The image is a sketch or etching, drawn in dark brown lines on a light brown background, with visible texture. The edges of the paper have a rough texture. A small piece of paper is attached to the bottom with handwritten numbers.
