The Swan, Chelsea by James McNeill Whistler. A pencil drawing on textured gray paper depicting a street scene in Chelsea, with several low-rise buildings lining the street. The buildings have simple facades and sloping roofs. A cart with large wheels is positioned near the center. A church steeple rises on the left. The sky is cloudy with a few birds flying. Three people are standing on the street. The drawing is outlined in dark brown pencil with varying line weights and minimal shading. A small signature is visible in the bottom right corner. A small piece of paper with writing is at the bottom edge. The image has a white border around it.
