The View from Afar: Whistler and the Japanese Print

A horizontally oriented charcoal drawing on dark brown, textured paper depicts a sparse waterfront. In the lower-left corner, sketchy lines form figures by a boat. A central figure stands with their back to us, looking toward a row of buildings. Thin, expressive lines on the right delineate a bridge, while the horizon is marked by a gestural skyline. The dark, minimal strokes emphasize the rough texture of the support.
