The Wine-Glass

James McNeill Whistler

National Gallery of Art

The image shows an etching of a glass cup with a long stem placed on a surface. The artwork is in a monochrome palette of brown and off-white, focusing on detailed line work. The glass is centrally positioned above a textured cloth, with a background of densely hatched lines to create a three-dimensional effect.
