Rue de la Rochefoucault is a 1893 ink by James McNeill Whistler, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows a street scene with people and buildings. The drawing is done in a loose, sketchy style, with lots of lines and shading. In the center, a man stands in a doorway, looking out at the street. On the left, people are gathered around a table, maybe selling things. The buildings have signs and windows, and there's a sense of activity and life. The artist, James McNeill Whistler, used etching and drypoint techniques to create this lively scene.
