About the piece
Created around 1890, this evocative nocturne by Walter Greaves is a masterclass in Tonalism. A student and associate of James Abbott McNeill Whistler, Greaves captures the stillness of the water and the heavy, misty air using a sophisticated and restricted palette. The work sits at the edge of abstraction, inviting the viewer to find form within its moody, layered depths.
