In this image, figures are emerging from the doorway into the bright light outside. The building?s interior has been etched by Whistler with many cross-hatched lines, effectively deepening the shadow. The etching plate for this work is also in the Hunterian collection (GLAHA 50400). (See also GLAHA 46980/46982-46984).
