Exeter Street

James McNeill Whistler

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a street scene with a building facade in focus. The perspective is straight on, highlighting architectural details. The lines are delicate and sketch-like. The color palette is limited to sepia tones. Several figures are near the building, with objects inside and outside the shop. Windows on the building add depth to the scene.
