The Garden Porch is a 1894 ink by James McNeill Whistler, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a quiet garden scene. Two women stand on a porch. One faces the other, her back to us. The porch has a railing and a few steps. Trees and bushes fill the yard, drawn in quick, light lines. The artist used a rough, sketchy style. This was made as a quick study, not a finished drawing. The lines are loose and uneven, almost like a doodle. Want to see more like this? Check out lithography.
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.
