Drury Lane is a 1880 ink by James McNeill Whistler, a Impressionism work, depicting Street, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows a dark street scene near London’s Drury Lane. Gas lamps flicker on brick walls. A shadowy figure walks past a pub’s lit window. Whistler used drypoint here. He scratched lines into the plate with a needle to make soft, fuzzy edges. The damp paper soaks up ink, giving the scene a smoky glow. Try looking up Whistler, James McNeill next.
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.
