This is the same subject as Rag Shop, Milman's Row, Chelsea [329] and Chelsea Rags c026 but is not a study for them.

Technique

Chelsea Rags, Cantor Arts Center at Stanford University.
Chelsea Rags, Cantor Arts Center at Stanford University.

The technique is atypical of Whistler, with short, scratchy, rather uncertain lines and cross-hatching.
