About this work

This lithograph shows two people walking on a beach near a rocky cliff. The waves are small and the sky is soft. You can see the artist’s signature in the corner. Whistler made a few versions of this scene. He loved how light looked on water and sand. This one is done in black ink on rough paper. Next time you’re at the National Gallery of Art, Washington, find this piece.
