Nocturne: Blue and Silver – Battersea Reach probably dates from between 1875 and 1878. 1

Nocturne: Blue and Silver – Battersea Reach, Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum

It is dated from the technique and its resemblance, in details such as the clocktower and small boat, to other paintings. The colour in Nocturne in Blue and Silver [YMSM 151] and Nocturne: Blue and Silver - Battersea Reach [YMSM 152] is similar. The extremely shadowy scene points towards the later 1870s but the painting has been reworked and restored so that it is difficult to date.
