The Steamboat, Venice is a 1880 ink by James McNeill Whistler, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see a steamboat in a Venice canal in this etching. The scene is quiet and simple, with the steamboat being the main focus. It's interesting that Whistler made this etching during a time when he was experimenting with different techniques.
