The Balcony

James McNeill Whistler

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a grayscale sketch of a building's facade with a canal in front. The building has two stories, with three large windows on the top story, each with an arch above it. Below the windows is a balcony with a decorative railing. The bottom story has three openings, the middle one being a large archway, and the other two having windows with grids. A small boat is positioned in front of the building. The water in front of the building reflects the image of the building. The sketch is done in a simple, monochromatic style. The title of the work is "The Balcony" and the artist is James McNeill Whistler.
