"Rotherhithe" (k. 66) is an etching and drypoint created by the American artist James Abbott McNeill Whistler in 1860. This work is part of Whistler's celebrated "Thames Set," a series of etchings that capture the life and landscape along the River Thames in London. Whistler, known for his innovative approach to etching and his keen eye for atmospheric detail, produced "Rotherhithe" during a period when he was deeply influenced by the Realist movement and the works of Gustave Courbet.

The etching depicts a scene in the docklands area of Rotherhithe, a historic district in southeast London known for its maritime activities. The composition features a view from inside a tavern, looking out towards the bustling riverfront. The foreground is dominated by the figure of a sailor, casually leaning on the windowsill, gazing out at the ships and the busy dockside. The background reveals a detailed panorama of the Thames, with various vessels and industrial structures, capturing the essence of 19th-century river life.

Whistler's technique in "Rotherhithe" is notable for its intricate line work and the use of drypoint to create rich, velvety textures. The artist's ability to convey light and shadow, as well as his attention to the minutiae of everyday life, are evident in this etching. The work exemplifies Whistler's skill in combining realism with a sense of atmospheric mood, making it a significant piece within his oeuvre and within the broader context of 19th-century printmaking.

"Rotherhithe" reflects Whistler's fascination with the urban landscape and his ability to transform ordinary scenes into compelling works of art. It remains an important example of his contribution to the etching revival of the 19th century and continues to be studied and admired for its technical mastery and evocative portrayal of London's riverine life.
