Dowdeswell and Dowdeswell, London, in 1886. However, "Little Court" is one of five non-Venetian subjects included in the published edition. In this image Whistler has combined two favourite subjects: a busy workplace and the compositional device of a doorway, contrasting the dark interior with the bright sunshine outside.
