Figures by a fountain
James McNeill Whistler (1834-1903) · 1858
The central focus of this pencil sketch is a fountain, perhaps one of the old stone and metal public fountains from the Rhine region. Such fountains were often located in town squares. The two figures at the right are remarkably stiff, and the drawing has an unresolved quality.
