Physical Description
A three-story house fills nearly the entire sheet. On the ground level, a stone arched entrance on the left is flanked by a window with green shutters; on the second level, rusticated stone the defines the vertical sides of the buildings is indicated, along with three small windows; the third level projects forward, corbels below and shadows indicating the overhanging top floor; a shingled roof with a dormer window completes the building. Summary indications of the flanking buildings are suggested. Two young women or girls stand at the lower left corner of the composition.
Subject Matter
Whistler executed only a handful of color lithographs, all drawn during his time living in Paris and printed by Henri Belfond. Whistler worked very closely with Belfond to vary the colors, matching the hues to the tonalities of the different papers used to print this work.
