The etching depicts a tranquil view of boats in the harbor of Dordrecht, a historic city known for its significant maritime industry and bustling ports.

In "Boats, Dordrecht," Whistler employs his signature delicate lines and subtle tonal variations to convey the reflection of light on water and the intricate details of the moored vessels. The composition is characterized by a masterful balance between the detailed foreground, where the boats and their riggings are intricately rendered, and the more loosely suggested background, which provides a sense of depth and atmosphere.

This piece is catalogued as number 244 in the comprehensive catalog of Whistler's work by Edward G. Kennedy, which is a key reference for scholars and collectors of Whistler's prints. "Boats, Dordrecht" is considered an exemplary work within Whistler's printmaking oeuvre, demonstrating his ability to capture the essence of a place through the medium of etching.
