About this work

This etching shows a plain brick house with a single light on in a second-floor window. The artist, Pennell, made this after Whistler died there in 1903. He used a drypoint needle to scratch fine lines into the metal plate, then inked it by hand. It’s a quiet piece. Look up the National Gallery of Art, Washington to see more of Pennell’s work.
