Winter Evening, dusk canal drawing by Whistler

Winter Evening, a crayon and pastel drawing on brown paper, shows a dim canal at dusk with a bridge in the distance and tall buildings lining the right edge. A cloaked figure with a bundled head stands in the foreground, while pale strokes of light glow in the warm, rust-colored sky above the water.
