"Black Lion Wharf" is an etching created by the American-born artist James Abbott McNeill Whistler in 1859. Whistler, who is renowned for his contributions to the Aesthetic Movement and his innovative approach to art, produced this work during his early years in London. The etching is part of his celebrated "Thames Set," a series of twelve etchings that capture the bustling life and industrial landscape along the River Thames.

"Black Lion Wharf" depicts a view of the wharf on the north bank of the Thames, showcasing the intricate details of the warehouses, boats, and workers that populated the area. Whistler's keen eye for detail and his ability to convey the atmosphere of the scene are evident in the meticulous line work and the careful composition of the etching. The piece reflects Whistler's fascination with the interplay of light and shadow, as well as his interest in the everyday life of the working class.

The etching is notable for its technical proficiency and its evocative portrayal of the industrial environment of mid-19th century London. Whistler's use of fine lines and cross-hatching techniques creates a rich texture and depth, drawing the viewer into the scene. The work is also significant for its influence on the etching revival movement of the 19th century, which saw a renewed interest in the medium among artists and collectors.

"Black Lion Wharf" gained further recognition when it was included in the famous "Etching Club" exhibition in 1861, where it was praised for its artistic merit and technical skill. Today, the etching is held in high regard and is part of several prominent collections, including the British Museum and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It remains a testament to Whistler's talent and his contribution to the art of etching.
