The Balcony is a 1886 by James McNeill Whistler, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
The image shows a drawing of a building with a balcony and a canal in front of it. The building has a large archway and several windows. A boat is floating in the water in front of the building. The drawing is done in a detailed style, with lots of lines and shading to show the texture of the building and the water. The artist has used a range of values to create depth and atmosphere in the drawing. The drawing is a great example of the Impressionist style, which emphasizes capturing the fleeting effects of light and color.
