Little Venice is a 1880 ink by James McNeill Whistler, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a serene view of a city across calm water. The city's skyline features tall buildings and steeples, with a few boats floating in the water. The sky above is a soft, cloudy grey. In the foreground, the water's surface reflects the city's image, creating a sense of symmetry. The overall atmosphere is one of quiet tranquility.
