Long House - Dyer's - Amsterdam is a 1889 ink by James McNeill Whistler, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows a canal scene with a long house on the left and a smaller structure on the right. The buildings are reflected in the water, creating a sense of symmetry. In the foreground, a woman stands at the entrance of the smaller building, while a man sits on a bench outside the long house. The scene is depicted in a realistic style, with attention to detail in the architecture and the reflections in the water. The use of etching and drypoint techniques creates a sense of texture and depth in the image.
