Amsterdam from the Tolhuis is a 1863 ink by James McNeill Whistler, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting is a black and white etching of a harbor scene. There are several boats in the water, with people standing on the shore. In the background, there are buildings and a cloudy sky. The etching is detailed, with many lines and textures that give it a sense of depth and realism. The artist has used a range of techniques to create different effects, from the smoothness of the water to the roughness of the buildings.
