A horizontally oriented etching in black ink on beige paper overlooks wooden boats cluttering a river. To the right, detailed brick buildings line the shore, one tower labeled "THAMES POLICE." On the left, a forest of spindly ship masts rises against a sky of wispy, horizontal lines. Light-skinned figures sit in boats or stand along the docks. The signature "Whistler 1859" is etched into the bottom right corner.
