By the Balcony is a 1896 ink by James McNeill Whistler, a Impressionism work, depicting Sleep, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see a woman standing by a balcony in this lithograph. She's looking out at something, but we can't see what it is. The scene is simple, with a few lines and shapes. The woman is the main focus, and the rest is minimal. To learn more about the method used to create this print, look up the technique: lithography.
James Abbott McNeill Whistler was an American painter in oils and watercolor, and printmaker, active during the American Gilded Age and based primarily in the United Kingdom.
