1859
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Greenwich Park is a 1859 ink by James McNeill Whistler, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows a quiet park scene with two tall trees framing a path. The ground is covered in short, wavy lines that look like grass or water. In the distance, a small group of people sits near a tent, and a lone figure walks under the trees. The artist used fine lines to show light and shadow, making the trees look almost three-dimensional. The texture of the paper and the way the lines overlap give it a scratchy, layered feel. If you like this style, look up etching to see how artists create prints like this.
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.
