Hurlingham is a 1879 ink by James McNeill Whistler, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows a quiet riverside scene. Big dark sails float on still water under a high horizon. Trees and buildings line the banks in soft sepia ink. Whistler made the mood calm on purpose. He left lots of blank paper around the image so nothing distracts the eye. The shadows under the sails feel almost like a mirror. Try looking up Whistler, James McNeill next.
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.
