Title from catalogue raisonné. Kennedy: K. 40 Handwritten on item: "One of sixteen etchings" (Thames set) Date from item. Whistler Kennedy, Edward G. (Edward Guthrie). "The etched work of Whistler ; compiled, arranged and described by Edward G. Kennedy, with an introduction by Royal Cortissoz." Alan Wofsy Fine Arts, 1978, San Francisco. A large barge, partly decked over, is moored in front of a warehouse at the right, beyond which extends a row of Thames-side buildings. Out in the river are three posts supported by braces, beyond which are numerous boats--one with sail partly unfurled. In the distance are sheds and shipping. A man stands in the doorway of the warehouse; another is at work on the barge; a woman descends steps of a building beyond; three people are seen on the boats. On the barge, at the right, "Whistler, 1859."
