A wharf
Whistler, James McNeill, 1834-1903 · [1859]
In front are two men and a boy, all wearing caps. At the right is a large barge; beyond are rowboats and other barges and several figures. On the bank at the right are a few picturesque buildings incompletely drawn, one bearing the sign of "W. Stevens. Boat & Barge Buil." Farther away are outline suggestions of more buildings. Out in the stream is a loaded boat which a man is rowing and in which another figure is seated. In the distance are indications of shipping. There are many lines in the sky. The plate is unsigned.
