Charing Cross Railway Bridge

James McNeill Whistler, 1896

The image shows a river scene depicted in a monochromatic palette using delicate pencil or charcoal strokes. A small embankment is visible, with indications of figures and vegetation. Various boats are on the river, with some figures sketched aboard. A large bridge crosses the river at the horizon line, partially obscured by soft brushstrokes. Structures can be seen beyond the bridge, with slender spires or chimneys in the skyline. Light and shadow are used effectively in the scene.
