"Rotherhithe" (Kennedy 66) is an etching and drypoint created by the American-born, British-based artist James Abbott McNeill Whistler in 1860. This work is part of Whistler's celebrated "Thames Set," a series of sixteen etchings that capture the life and atmosphere along the River Thames in London. Whistler, known for his innovative approach to etching and his keen eye for detail, produced "Rotherhithe" during a period when he was deeply influenced by the Realist movement and the works of earlier masters such as Rembrandt.

The etching depicts a scene in the docklands area of Rotherhithe, a district in southeast London known for its bustling maritime activity. Whistler's composition is characterized by its intricate detail and the artist's ability to convey the textures and mood of the riverside environment. The scene includes figures engaged in various activities, boats, and the architectural elements of the dockside, all rendered with Whistler's distinctive line work and attention to light and shadow.

"Rotherhithe" exemplifies Whistler's skill in capturing the essence of urban life and his fascination with the interplay between natural and man-made elements. The etching's composition is carefully balanced, with a strong sense of depth and perspective that draws the viewer into the scene. Whistler's use of drypoint, a technique that involves drawing directly onto the printing plate with a sharp needle, adds a richness and texture to the image that enhances its overall impact.

This work is significant not only for its artistic qualities but also for its contribution to the documentation of 19th-century London. "Rotherhithe" provides a glimpse into the daily life and industrial landscape of the time, offering valuable insights into the social and economic conditions of the period. As part of the "Thames Set," it reflects Whistler's broader interest in capturing the spirit of the city and its inhabitants, making it an important piece in the artist's oeuvre and in the history of printmaking.
