1861
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Early Morning Battersea is a 1861 by James McNeill Whistler, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a serene river scene at dawn. A few boats are moored near a small dock, with a couple of people standing on the shore. The sky is a soft, muted grey, with a few wispy clouds. In the distance, you can see the outlines of buildings and what looks like a factory chimney. The overall mood of the painting is peaceful and calm, with a sense of stillness in the early morning air. If you're interested in learning more about this style of painting, you might want to look into the Impressionism movement.
