The Tiny Pool

James McNeill Whistler

National Gallery of Art

The image is an etching showing a waterside view with various masts and structures. The horizon line is high, and there are buildings and tall masts in the distance. The lines in the etching are delicate, creating a detailed appearance. The color scheme is sepia-toned. Several boats are moored, and two figures are standing by the water. A busy harbor can be seen in the distance, maintaining an open atmosphere.
