This is a black and white etching titled "Thames Warehouses" by James McNeill Whistler, created in 1859. The image depicts a bustling harbor scene along the Thames River. On the left side, there are warehouses and various buildings with signs indicating businesses such as "Alfred Warwick" and "Mast & Sail Makers." Several boats are docked along the waterfront, with workers loading and unloading cargo. In the foreground, there is a small boat with two figures, one of whom appears to be rowing. The middle ground features more boats and ships anchored in the river, with masts and rigging prominently visible. Further in the distance to the right, there are several industrial buildings and ships with tall smokestacks emitting smoke, suggesting an industrial area along the river. The overall scene captures the industrious atmosphere of the Thames River during the mid-19th century. The artist's signature "Whistler 1859" is visible in the lower right corner of the etching.

The image is a black and white etching or print depicting a bustling harbor scene. To the left, there are buildings and a pier with signage that is largely illegible, aside from what appears to be part of a word that includes "MARL...". Moored to the docks are several boats, including one with a prominently visible hull. The center and right of the image show a variety of sailing ships anchored in the harbor, with their masts and rigging forming a dense forest of lines against the sky. A couple of boats are in the foreground, with figures either aboard or nearby, suggesting human activity and maritime work. On the right-hand side in the distance, a lone factory or ship's funnel emits a plume of smoke, adding an industrial note to the scene. In the water, the reflections of the masts and the smoke plume are discernible. The piece is signed "Whistler 1860" in the bottom right corner, indicating that the work is likely by James McNeill Whistler, a prominent 19th-century American artist known for his etchings and paintings. The etching captures a moment of daily life, combining both nautical and industrial elements, typical of a port city during the 19th century.
