Tilbury is a 1887 ink by James McNeill Whistler, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching depicts a serene scene of a river, with a small boat in the foreground and a larger vessel in the distance. The artist's use of drypoint technique creates a sense of texture and depth, drawing the viewer's eye to the subtle play of light on the water's surface. In the background, a few buildings and trees are visible, adding a sense of context to the tranquil scene. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the delicate lines and shading that bring the scene to life. The overall effect is one of calmness and contemplation, inviting the viewer to step into the peaceful world of the etching.
