Turkeys is a 1880 ink by James McNeill Whistler, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image is an etching of a backyard scene. A woman stands at the bottom left, holding a large bag and looking towards a group of turkeys on the ground. The yard is surrounded by a brick wall with a staircase leading up to a door and a balcony. Vines and leaves cover the wall and balcony. The etching is done in a detailed, realistic style, with many lines and textures visible. The woman and turkeys are rendered in a lifelike manner, giving the scene a sense of everyday life. The level of detail and realism in this etching is reminiscent of the work of artist Whistler, James McNeill.
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.
