La Marchande de Moutarde

James McNeill Whistler

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white image of a woman standing inside an open doorway on the right side, with another woman on the left side reaching over a countertop into the dark interior. The standing woman wears a long dress with puffed sleeves and a hat. The woman on the right wears a head covering and a long dress. The doorway opening is positioned in a brick wall with stones of various shapes and lined with brick and stone at the top. The background shows more interior detail within the recessed dark doorway, and faint illegible cursive writing appears on the bottom left with some legible words: Rue St. Jacques. The entire image is rendered in engraved lines.
