Les Pigeons du Savoy

James McNeill Whistler, 1896

The image is a drawing of an urban scene with an elevated view. The scene shows a curving path leading to a bridge in the background. There are buildings and structures sketched in the distance under a lightly clouded sky. The drawing uses soft lines and shading, creating an impressionistic effect. The color palette is monochromatic, with shades of gray on a cream-colored background. Two small figures can be seen walking along the path.
