"Old Hungerford Bridge 2" is a notable etching and drypoint work by the American-born artist James Abbott McNeill Whistler, created in 1861. Whistler, who spent much of his career in Europe, is renowned for his contributions to the Aesthetic Movement and his innovative approach to etching and printmaking. This particular work is part of his celebrated "Thames Set," a series of etchings that capture the atmospheric and industrial scenes along the River Thames in London.

The etching depicts the Old Hungerford Bridge, a suspension footbridge designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel and completed in 1845. The bridge, which connected Hungerford Market on the north bank with Lambeth on the south, was a significant architectural feat of its time. Whistler's rendering of the bridge is characterized by his meticulous attention to detail and his ability to convey the bustling life and dynamic environment of Victorian London.

In "Old Hungerford Bridge 2," Whistler employs a combination of etching and drypoint techniques to achieve a rich tonal quality and intricate line work. The composition is marked by its dramatic perspective and the interplay of light and shadow, which highlight the structural elements of the bridge and the activity along the riverbanks. Whistler's skillful use of these techniques not only captures the physical presence of the bridge but also evokes the transient and ephemeral nature of the urban landscape.

This work is significant within Whistler's oeuvre as it exemplifies his mastery of printmaking and his commitment to portraying modern life with a sense of beauty and immediacy. "Old Hungerford Bridge 2" remains an important example of 19th-century etching and continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical value.
