"Rotherhithe" is an etching and drypoint created by the American-born, British-based artist James Abbott McNeill Whistler in 1860. Whistler, renowned for his innovative approach to etching and his influence on the Aesthetic Movement, produced this work as part of his celebrated "Thames Set" series. The "Thames Set," also known as "A Series of Sixteen Etchings of Scenes on the Thames and Other Subjects," captures the bustling life and industrial atmosphere along the River Thames in London during the mid-19th century.

"Rotherhithe" specifically depicts a scene in the docklands area of Rotherhithe, a district in southeast London known for its maritime activities. The etching portrays a view from inside a tavern, looking out towards the river. The composition is notable for its intricate detail and the way Whistler masterfully captures the interplay of light and shadow. The foreground features a group of men, likely sailors or dockworkers, engaged in conversation and leisure, while the background reveals a glimpse of the Thames with ships and industrial structures.

Whistler's technique in "Rotherhithe" demonstrates his skill in etching, with fine lines and varied textures that bring the scene to life. His use of drypoint adds depth and richness to the image, enhancing the contrast and providing a sense of immediacy. The work reflects Whistler's interest in the everyday lives of ordinary people and his ability to find beauty in the mundane and industrial aspects of urban life.

"Rotherhithe" is considered an important example of Whistler's early etching work and contributes to his reputation as a pivotal figure in the etching revival of the 19th century. The piece is held in high regard for its technical excellence and its evocative portrayal of a specific moment in London's history. Today, "Rotherhithe" is housed in various prestigious collections, including the British Museum and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance.
