Visitors' boat
Whistler, James McNeill, 1834-1903 · 1887
At the right, across a broad expanse of water, lies a side-wheel steamboat, crowded with people, near a sloop with bare mast. Beyond, in the center, is a sloop under sail. Farther away, at the left, is a large warship. In the distance is a long line of vessels dressed with bunting. Below the middle of the plate, in the center, are three stooping figures. The butterfly, in outline, is near the left lower corner.
