Early Morning: The Thames at Battersea, London

James McNeill Whistler

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a grayscale landscape drawing. A large body of water spans the bottom half, reflecting the scene above. A low wall runs along the bottom edge, with two people and two animals standing behind it. A boat floats on the right side of the water. Across the water, a cityscape features several buildings, with smoke rising from the center. The buildings on the right have tall, thin structures. The sky is filled with clouds. The drawing has a rough texture and is framed by a thin border.
