This work belongs to a series of “Nocturnes”, created by Whistler in the 1870s. The picture is somewhat similar in style and impressionism, and symbolism, but this similarity, by and large, is a very superficial property. An attentive spectator will notice in this “Nocturne” distinct “Whistler” notes.
