Note in Flesh Colour: The Guidecca 1880

"Note in Flesh Colour: The Guidecca" is a pastel drawing created by James Abbott McNeill Whistler in 1880. Known for his atmospheric landscapes, Whistler captures a serene Venetian scene. The pastel strokes create a soft, hazy effect, giving the impression of a delicate and ethereal atmosphere. A lone gondola with two figures occupies the foreground, while the Guidecca island in the background is barely visible, shrouded in mist. Whistler's delicate use of color and atmospheric representation is characteristic of his artistic style, often referred to as "Nocturnes."
