"Chelsea" is a 1879 etching by American artist James Abbott McNeill Whistler (1834-1903). The artwork depicts a bridge over the River Thames in London, England. Whistler, known for his emphasis on atmospheric effects and tonal qualities, captures the scene in a delicate, almost ethereal style. The etching's subtle lines and hazy details contribute to a sense of quietude and contemplation, characteristic of Whistler's artistic approach, often referred to as "art for art's sake."
