The lime-burner - Public domain portrait print

Seen through a heavily timbered square archway, a lime-burner stands leaning on a barrel, in front of ladders placed against a white wall. At the right are other ladders, more barrels and a large sieve. A passageway, near the far end of which a man is seated, leads under varied roofs to an opening on the Thames. Beyond is a glimpse of the broad river, with shipping and warehouses in the distance. Near the right lower corner, "Whistler, 1859." In the left lower corner, faintly written, "Whistler."
