Fruit-Stall

James McNeill Whistler

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a riverside scene. The etching shows a group of figures outside a rustic building with multiple small windows. A canopy or cloth is draped above them. Some figures are seated, while another figure is standing to the side. Below, there is a body of water with a small boat or dock visible, adding a serene atmosphere to the scene. The line work is delicate and light, emphasizing texture and capturing an everyday moment.
