About the piece
James McNeill Whistler’s 'Brown and Silver: Old Battersea Bridge' is a masterclass in tonalist painting, using a restricted palette to evoke the misty atmosphere of the Thames. Painted in the early 1860s, this work reflects Whistler's interest in the harmony of color and form over literal representation, depicting the bridge and surrounding industry with a poetic, silver-toned light.
