The Priest's House, Rouen is a 1894 ink by James McNeill Whistler, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a simple stone building with a sloped roof and small windows. The walls look rough, and the roof has two small chimneys. In the foreground, there’s a dark doorway with a faint figure inside, and a small patch of grass or dirt on the ground. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to capture light and shadow—no details are polished. This style was common in late 19th-century drawings. Next, look up 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.
