Red House, Paimpol is a 1893 ink by James McNeill Whistler, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a simple two-story house with a steep, triangular roof. The walls are made of rough stone, and the windows are small and evenly spaced. A person sits on a bench in the foreground, while another stands near the house’s entrance. The artist used soft colors—mostly browns and reds—to highlight the house’s details. The sketch looks quick, almost like a note, but the lines still show the building’s shape clearly. If you like this style, check out lithography to see how artists make 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.
