Mark Kostabi

Physical Description

Line drawing in felt tip marker on ivory ~ 10x13” paper with shading.

The Doorway, from the "Twelve Etchings", or the "First Venice Set"

Artist

James McNeill Whistler

Physical Description

A large ornate waterdoor faces onto a canal. On the threshold near the water, a woman bends down towards the surface of the canal. Behind the doorway stands another figure in the shadows and beyond is another opening to a small square or open-air workspace. The Doorway consists of a large lunette shaped transom light over the door and the portal is flanked on either side by large arched windows. The glazing is all fitted into a fine network of mullions in either square on diamond patterns. The door and windows are each framed by carved pilasters and engaged corinthian capitals. Below the windows are bands of rosettes and other carved ornaments that extends to the water level.
