Turkeys

James McNeill Whistler

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a grayscale sketch of a scene with a woman standing in the center-left, dressed in a long skirt and a short-sleeved top. She holds a large basket. To her right is a large stone trough. In the background, a staircase leads up to a building with a door and a window. A few people are sitting on the stairs and a small balcony. Several turkeys are sketched in the foreground and near the woman. A small tree branch with leaves hangs down from the top of the image. The sketch is on a rectangular piece of paper with a rough texture and a small white label at the bottom.
