Whistler’s *The Smith’s Yard* shows two horses in a quiet stable. Soft lines give them gentle shapes. The background blurs into shadows. It feels calm and simple. Whistler made this with lithography. That means he drew on stone, then printed it. You can still see the hand-drawn texture in the lines. Look up Whistler, James McNeill if you want to see more prints like this.
