Grey and Silver: Old Battersea Reach

James McNeill Whistler

Painted

1863

Collection

Art Institute of Chicago

Medium

Oil on canvas

The chimneys and boats of Battersea seen across the Thames from Whistler's house in Chelsea, 1863. An early example of his musical titles made of colour names; he insisted a painting was an arrangement of colour, not a story. Sails and chimneys between grey water and silver sky are the anchors.
