DESCRIPTION
A two-storey building, with a broad passageway through the middle, fills the far side of a courtyard bounded on either hand by low buildings. Three women are standing at the right, and the figures of a woman and a man stand in the far left corner of the courtyard.
SITE
The town of Loches, France. The Hotel de la Promenade was near the Tour St Antoine, also etched by Whistler. Around 1900 a postcard shows that the proprietor of the hotel was then M. Bourassen. 6 Whistler may have etched Doorway, Stables - Loches 416 in the same hotel.
