“Note in Gold and Silver – Dordrecht” is a watercolor artwork by James McNeill Whistler, created around 1884. As a piece influenced by the Impressionism movement, it captures a cityscape within the dimensions of 20.96 x 12.07 cm.
The artwork features a relaxed depiction of a riverside scene in Dordrecht, rendered in a delicate palette of gold and silver hues. Prominent buildings along the water are reflected in the calm surface, creating a serene vista. In the foreground, gentle brushstrokes suggest figures leisurely interacting near the water, adding a human element to the tranquil cityscape. The cloudy sky overhead is painted with a softness that enhances the overall impression of quiet elegance and harmony within the scene.
