The Riva, No. 1

James McNeill Whistler

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Riva, No. 1 by James McNeill Whistler: A sepia-toned etching depicting a waterfront scene. A large body of water is on the right side. Several boats are docked near a long, curved pier. People are standing on the pier and on the shore. Buildings line the waterfront. A bridge with multiple arches spans the water on the left. The foreground shows a beach or shoreline area with people walking. The image is rendered in a sketchy, impressionistic style with a focus on lines and shading.
