The American artist James Abbott McNeill Whistler, based primarily in London, and Monet were both committed to working from nature and seeking beauty in contemporary environments. They directed their focus increasingly on transient effects of light and weather and revisited their subjects under varying conditions. In particular, both artists shared a fascination with the landmarks and activity along London’s Thames River.
This etchings was a part of Whistler’s A Series of Sixteen Etchings of Scenes on the Thames and Other Subjects (known as “The Thames Set”). When they were published in 1871, the prints were already recognized as a valuable record of an already vanishing London.

One of James McNeill Whistler’s great patrons was British shipping magnate and art collector, Frederick Leyland (1832-1892) whose wife and four children were the subjects of numerous drawings, prints, and painted portraits by the artist. Much of what is known of Whistler’s relationship with this family is through letters from his mother, who not infrequently tried her best to smoothe over disagreements between her dilatory son and the impatient Leyland.
Whistler’s regular visits to Speke Hall (the Leyland family’s estate near Liverpool, England) brought him into frequent contact with the children, who posed for him many times. Look for the phrase “I am Flo” to the right of the figure of Florence, the youngest, who is holding a hoop – perhaps an inside joke, a reference to the fact that there were three Leyland daughters who may have been regularly confused with each other!
