Physical Description
A scene of figures in doorways and examing goods outside a store occupies the lower portion of the image while the architecture--windows, downspouts, signs, and string courses creates a rectilinear framework of the second floor.
Subject Matter
During the 1880s, Whistler was executed images of shop fronts throughout London, particularly in Chelsea. Maunder's Fish Shop was shown in paintings as well as in this lithograph. In these works he explores the lively street life with shoppers, children, and merchants against the regular rhythms of the architecture that extends above them.
