The Riva, No. 2

James McNeill Whistler

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a black and white sketch of a waterfront scene. A large body of water is on the right side, with boats docked along the shore. On the left side, there are several buildings, some with windows and balconies. In the foreground, people are standing or walking on a beach or promenade. The sky appears to be cloudy. The overall atmosphere suggests a busy and lively scene, possibly in a European city. The title of the work is "The Riva, No. 2" and the artist is James McNeill Whistler.
