"Rotherhithe" is an etching and drypoint created by the American-born, British-based artist James Abbott McNeill Whistler in 1860. This work is part of Whistler's celebrated "Thames Set," a series of sixteen etchings that capture various scenes along the River Thames in London. Whistler, known for his innovative approach to etching and his keen eye for atmospheric effects, produced "Rotherhithe" during a period when he was deeply influenced by the urban landscape and the bustling life along the river.

The etching depicts a view of the Rotherhithe area, a district located on the south bank of the Thames, historically known for its docks and maritime activities. In "Rotherhithe," Whistler presents a detailed and evocative portrayal of the industrial environment, with a focus on the architecture and the everyday life of the working-class inhabitants. The composition is characterized by its intricate line work and the artist's ability to convey texture and depth, capturing the essence of the location with remarkable precision.

Whistler's technique in "Rotherhithe" demonstrates his mastery of etching and drypoint, employing a combination of fine lines and rich, dark areas to create a sense of contrast and movement. The work reflects his interest in the interplay of light and shadow, as well as his fascination with the gritty, yet picturesque aspects of urban life. "Rotherhithe" is notable for its atmospheric quality, a hallmark of Whistler's style, which often sought to evoke mood and emotion rather than merely document a scene.

The "Thames Set," including "Rotherhithe," played a significant role in establishing Whistler's reputation as a leading figure in the etching revival of the 19th century. These works were highly regarded for their technical brilliance and their ability to capture the spirit of contemporary London. Today, "Rotherhithe" is considered an important example of Whistler's contribution to the art of etching and remains a valued piece in the collections of major museums and galleries around the world.
