The 'Adam and Eve', Old Chelsea

James McNeill Whistler

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a riverside scene with moored boats and old buildings in the background. The buildings have chimneys and a sign with "THE ADAM and EVE." The details are captured with a fine, etching technique in sepia tones. Boats are docked near the shore, with one floating on the water.
