The Russian Schube is a 1896 ink by James McNeill Whistler, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows two people walking side by side, dressed in long, heavy coats. The lines are loose and quick, like a hasty drawing. One person wears a hat pulled low, while the other’s face is mostly hidden by a turned-up collar. The artist used rough, sketchy strokes to show movement and fabric folds. The background is barely there—just a hint of a building or stairs. Next, check out 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.
