Francis Seymour Haden had an uneven relationship with his young brother-in-law James McNeill Whistler. When Haden etched this view of the river Thames in London-a subject then associated with Whistler-the two were on good terms. Each was recognized for the excellence of his art, and they seemed supportive of each other's successes.
