This particular work, executed in 1879-1880, is part of Whistler's "Venice, Second Set," also known as the "Twenty-Six Etchings" or the "Second Venice Set," which showcases his masterful ability to capture the essence and atmosphere of the Venetian cityscape.

"The Long Balcony" depicts a quintessential Venetian scene, focusing on the architectural elegance and intricate details of a balcony overlooking one of Venice's iconic canals.

The composition is marked by its delicate line work and the artist's keen eye for detail, which together convey the serene beauty and timeless charm of Venice.
