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 with sailboats floating on calm water. Trees and buildings line the far bank, their reflections rippling below. Whistler used fine lines and soft gray tones to make the scene feel peaceful and balanced. The drypoint technique adds texture to the water and sky. It’s an old print method where a needle scratches directly into the plate. The marks catch light differently, giving the print a subtle glow.
