T.A. Nash's Fruit-Shop

James McNeill Whistler

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a downward perspective of a busy scene below. A market stall's canopy is seen at the top of the image with the inscription "T. A. Nash" on it. The brushwork consists of sketch-like lines conveying movement. The color palette is monochrome with light and dark tones. Figures are depicted in casual stances near us, while vendors and their goods are further away.
