The Thames is a 1896 by James McNeill Whistler, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This picture shows a foggy river with a few small boats floating on the water. In the distance, you can barely make out buildings and a tall smokestack. The shore has bare trees and some grass, all drawn in soft, smudgy lines. The whole scene looks hazy, like you’re seeing it through a light mist. The artist used loose, sketchy strokes to capture the mood of the place. If you like this style, check out Impressionism for more paintings like this.
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.
