The Laundress: La Blanchisseuse de la place Dauphine

James McNeill Whistler

Cleveland Museum of Art

The drawing depicts a two-story building with a storefront on the ground floor. The storefront has a large window on the right and a doorway on the left. There are curtains on the left side of the window. A shelf or ledge runs across the top of the storefront. Above the storefront, there is a second-floor window with a decorative frame. The drawing is done in pencil on a light-brown background. The image is a sketchy, impressionistic rendering of the scene.
