Fulham is a 1878 ink by James McNeill Whistler, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a simple river scene with a wooden bridge in the middle. The water has a few small boats floating near the shore. On the right side, there’s a tree and some buildings, while the bridge has a few people walking across it. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to capture light and movement—no tiny details, just the main shapes. The paper has a textured look, which makes the ink stand out. Next, check out etching to see how artists like this one make prints with acid and needles.
