The Thames towards Erith

Whistler, James McNeill, 1834-1903 · [1877]

In front, at the left, on a broad reach of the Thames, are two rowboats. In the nearest are four men, one of whom is standing. In the boat next beyond are three men. At the center is a man rowing a boat, near which is a sloop with furled sail. At the left, farther away, are other rowboats and boats under sail. At the right is a long shed on a timbered wharf. In the distance, there is a shipping, between low shores, under a cloudy sky. The butterfly, shaded, is near the lower right corner.
