The Wine Glass by James McNeill Whistler: A black and white drawing of a wine glass on a table. The glass has a wide bowl with a long stem and a circular base. The bowl of the glass is clear and reflective, showing the interior. The glass sits on a round, dark-colored doily or mat. The doily or mat has a decorative edge and appears to be made of a thick fabric. The doily or mat sits on a light-colored table or surface. The background is dark and shaded, with visible cross-hatching. The artist's signature is visible in the bottom-left corner. The overall image is rectangular with a white border around the edges.
