This etching shows a quiet Paris street by the Seine River. Boats line the dock, and people walk along the stone path. The buildings glow in soft light. Whistler often worked at night. He used a needle to scratch lines into metal plates. Then he coated the plates with ink and pressed them onto paper. Try another Whistler, James McNeill etching next.
