Rue de la Rochefoucault c. 1893

"Rue de la Rochefoucault" (c. 1893) is a drypoint etching by American artist James Abbott McNeill Whistler. The artwork depicts a street scene in Paris, with a storefront in the foreground and figures standing on the sidewalk. Whistler's signature style is evident in the delicate lines and soft shading, creating a sense of atmospheric depth. The etching is a testament to Whistler's fascination with the everyday life of the city and his ability to capture its essence through his art. This artwork is a notable example of Whistler's "Nocturnes", a series of paintings and etchings that explored the effects of light and shadow.
