Fitzroy Square

James McNeill Whistler

National Gallery of Art

The image shows an urban setting with a street curving to the left. There are figures in the street and a detailed building on the right with trees. The perspective diminishes the view of buildings in the distance. The etching style features delicate lines and crosshatching for texture and shadow. The color palette is monochromatic with light and dark tones for depth.
