Rotes Haus, Paimpol

James McNeill Whistler, 1893

The image is a sketch of a three-story building with intricate architectural details, viewed from a street-level perspective. The building has a steeply pitched roof, timber-framed facade, and an array of windows. The focus is on the building itself, and the linework is delicate and sketch-like with a mix of fine and slightly broader strokes. The color palette is limited, primarily using a subdued reddish hue combined with black against a warm beige paper background. The sketch includes faintly drawn figures and outlines of adjacent structures, suggesting a street scene with minimal detail beyond the main building.
