Square House, Amsterdam

James McNeill Whistler

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts the façade of a row of old buildings with reflections on water. The painting shows buildings made of wood with windows and detailed framework, reflecting onto a body of water below. The style is reminiscent of James McNeill Whistler, evident in the etching technique and tonal nuances that emphasize both the architectural elements and their mirrored forms on the water's surface.
