"Rotherhithe (Wapping)" is a notable etching and drypoint work created by the American-born artist James Abbott McNeill Whistler in 1860. Whistler, who is renowned for his contributions to the Aesthetic Movement and his innovative approach to art, produced this piece as part of his celebrated "Thames Set," a series of etchings that capture the atmospheric and industrial scenes along the River Thames in London.

The artwork depicts a view of the bustling dockside area of Rotherhithe, which is situated on the south bank of the Thames, opposite Wapping on the north bank. This area was known for its maritime activity, shipyards, and warehouses during the 19th century. Whistler's etching captures the gritty realism of the working docks, with an intricate attention to detail that showcases his technical prowess in the medium. The composition includes figures of dockworkers and sailors, emphasizing the human element within the industrial landscape.

Whistler's use of etching and drypoint techniques in "Rotherhithe (Wapping)" demonstrates his skill in creating depth and texture. The fine lines and varied shading bring a sense of movement and life to the scene, while the careful composition reflects Whistler's keen eye for balance and harmony. This work is a testament to Whistler's ability to blend realism with a subtle, almost poetic, interpretation of everyday scenes.

"Rotherhithe (Wapping)" is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical value, providing a glimpse into the life and environment of 19th-century London.
