Soupe à Trois Sous is a 1859 ink by James McNeill Whistler, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows a simple scene with tables and people sitting. It's a everyday moment, like a snapshot. The lines are sketchy, which makes it feel informal. The artist used this style to show how people interact with each other in a casual setting. You can look up the technique of etching to learn more about how it 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.
