The Towing-Path

James McNeill Whistler

National Gallery of Art

The image features fine lines drawn with ink pen. The horizon shows faint vegetation and structures. The sparse brushstrokes suggest trees, figures, and possibly horses. There is a simple depiction of water with horizontal lines suggesting its texture. The color palette is minimal, with natural paper tone and dark ink.
