Dowdeswell and Dowdeswell, London, 1886. Throughout his career, Whistler was fond of exploring the subject of doorways. In Venice he had ample opportunity to depict the elaborate doorways and archways of the city, while experimenting with chiaroscuro effects. "The Garden" is an unexpected view of an enclosed garden, seen through a door in a high wall along the canal. (See also GLAHA 46873/49898).
