The little lagoon
Whistler, James McNeill, 1834-1903 · [1879–1880]
In front, at the left, are two posts set in the lagoon. Farther away, at the right, a boatman is rowing his gondola. Beyond, in the center, lies a boat with two masts, near which a number of gondolas are in motion. In the distance, at the left, are buildings on a beach, in front of which lie a ship and a second boat with two masts. Faintly outlined on the horizon are suggestions of Venice, under a cloudy sky. The butterfly, shaded, is near the right lower corner of the plate.
