Church Doorway, Edgemere is a 1868 ink by James McNeill Whistler, a Romanticism work, depicting Door, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows a dark church doorway in a quiet village. The stone arch frames a sliver of light. Tiny figures walk past, almost lost in shadow. Whistler made this in 1894 during a stay in England. He loved simple scenes like this. The lines are sharp but soft, like a whisper. Look for Whistler, James McNeill to see more of his etchings.
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.
