The Doorway

James McNeill Whistler

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a black and white drawing of a doorway by James McNeill Whistler. The doorway is large and centered, with a semicircular arch at the top. The doorway and walls on either side are made of brick. The walls on either side of the doorway feature decorative latticework. A short set of stairs leads into the doorway. A figure stands on the right side of the stairs. The drawing is rendered in dark and light shades of gray on a rectangular piece of paper. The paper has a light-colored border around the drawing. A small piece of paper with writing is placed at the bottom of the drawing. The overall composition is simple and focused on the architectural details of the doorway.
