EDITORS COMMENTS
The Little Pool, 1861 (drypoint) captures a picturesque scene along the River Thames in London during the 19th century. In this print by James Abbott McNeill Whistler, we are transported back in time to witness the bustling activity of boatyards and ships. The composition showcases various types of vessels, including tugboats, barges, and sailboats. The intricate details of each ship's masts and rigging are beautifully rendered in monochrome. Amidst this maritime setting, a figure dressed in a top hat stands on the riverbank, possibly a longshoreman overseeing the operations. Whistler's attention to architectural elements is evident as well. The urban cityscape provides an intriguing backdrop with its Victorian buildings lining the riverfront. This juxtaposition between nature and industrialization adds depth to the artwork. The small size of this drypoint print allows us to appreciate Whistler's skillful technique even more closely. Every line etched into the plate contributes to creating texture and depth within the image. This particular print is part of The McManus collection at Dundee Art Galleries and Museums in Scotland. It offers viewers a glimpse into London's rich history as a major hub for transportation and trade during that era.
