Liverdun

James McNeill Whistler

National Gallery of Art

The etching shows a rustic village scene with buildings, chimneys, and people. The texture is created by fine, precise lines. The color palette is monochromatic with deep shadows and lighter tones. The ground has horizontal lines leading to more detailed structures. Human figures and a cart are visible in the distance. An archway is seen on the building to the right. Several figures are gathered around structures further down the street.
