1858
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Street at Saverne is a 1858 ink by James McNeill Whistler, a Impressionism work, depicting Street, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows a quiet street in Saverne, France. Narrow buildings lean close together. A lone figure walks past a shop with a striped awning. Whistler made just twelve prints of this scene. He used drypoint, scratching lines into a metal plate. The lines feel soft, almost like pencil. Try etching a drypoint your self at the National Gallery of Art, Washington.
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.
