"Vauxhall Bridge (Kennedy 70)" is an etching and drypoint created by the American-born artist James Abbott McNeill Whistler in 1861. Whistler, who is renowned for his contributions to the Aesthetic Movement and his innovative approach to art, produced this work as part of his celebrated "Thames Set," a series of etchings depicting scenes along the River Thames in London. These works are notable for their detailed and atmospheric portrayal of the urban landscape during the mid-19th century.

The etching captures a view of Vauxhall Bridge, an important crossing over the Thames, connecting the districts of Pimlico on the north bank and Vauxhall on the south bank. At the time Whistler created this piece, the original Vauxhall Bridge, which had opened in 1816, was still standing. This bridge was later replaced by the current structure, completed in 1906. Whistler's depiction of the bridge is characterized by his meticulous attention to detail and his ability to convey the bustling activity and industrial atmosphere of the riverfront.

In "Vauxhall Bridge," Whistler employs both etching and drypoint techniques to achieve a rich texture and depth in the image. The use of drypoint, where the artist scratches the image directly onto the plate with a sharp needle, allows for a more expressive and varied line quality. This technique, combined with the etching process, results in a composition that is both intricate and dynamic.

Whistler's "Thames Set" was instrumental in establishing his reputation as a leading figure in the etching revival of the 19th century. His works from this series are celebrated for their innovative use of perspective, light, and shadow, as well as their ability to capture the essence of London's riverine landscape. "Vauxhall Bridge (Kennedy 70)" remains an important example of Whistler's early etchings and his enduring influence on the art of printmaking.
