The Brothers by James McNeill Whistler: A black and white sketch of two men sitting on a bench or chairs. The man on the left is wearing a light-colored shirt and pants, with his right arm resting on his hip. The man on the right is wearing a similar outfit, with his arms crossed. The background of the sketch appears to be a wall or other structure. The men are sitting facing the viewer. The sketch is rendered in a loose, expressive style. The artwork has a beige background with darker shading behind the subjects.
