Whistler, who was born in 1834 and died in 1903, is celebrated for his contributions to the Aesthetic Movement and his innovative approach to art, which often emphasized mood and atmosphere over detailed representation. This particular etching is part of Whistler's extensive body of work in printmaking, a medium in which he excelled and through which he explored various themes and subjects.

The work is a fine example of Whistler's skill in capturing the essence of urban landscapes and the subtleties of light and shadow. Alderney Street itself is a location in the Pimlico district of London, an area that Whistler frequented and often depicted in his works. The street scenes Whistler created during his time in London are notable for their intimate scale and the artist's ability to convey the quiet charm of everyday life.
