Rue Furstenburg is a 1894 ink by James McNeill Whistler, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a quiet street corner with three buildings. The middle building has three windows on the top floor and a small balcony. A few people walk along the sidewalk, and a dog sits near the curb. The buildings look old, with simple lines and no bright colors. The artist used quick, loose strokes to capture the scene. This style makes it feel like a fast sketch rather than a detailed drawing. The focus is on everyday life, not fancy details. Next, check out lithography to see how this print was made.
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.
