Whistler, Battersea Dawn

Battersea Dawn

Drypoint and etching, 1863, from Sixteen Etchings of the Thames, 113 x 148 mm., Kennedy 65 only state, MacDonald 95 ii/ii. Unusually fine and atmospheric impression, with plate tone and a range of blacks and greys, on thin laid paper with full margins. The plate is often seen in rather flat and grey impressions without any range of tone, which clearly diminish its interest. This one, though subtle, is quite different. The image is also known under the titles Early Morning Battersea and Cadogan Pier.
