1861
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Old Hungerford Bridge is a 1861 by James McNeill Whistler, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a busy river with boats and a large bridge stretching across it. The bridge has thick cables and tall towers, while the water is full of small ships and barges. The whole scene is drawn in loose, quick lines—no colors, just black and white. The artist focused on movement and everyday life, not perfect details. The boats and bridge look simple but full of energy, like a snapshot of a moment. Next, check out James McNeill Whistler to see how he played with light and mood in other works.
James Abbott McNeill Whistler was an American painter in oils and watercolor, and printmaker, active during the American Gilded Age and based primarily in the United Kingdom.
