Hello Marsi,
Thank you for submitting your item for an online appraisal and for your patience.
The presented object appears to be an original etching attributed to James Abbott McNeill Whistler (American, 1834–1903) from 1879 titled "Fulham (Chelsea)." It measures approximately 8 x 5 inches, is framed and looks to be in very good condition. It is signed in plate with Whistler's characteristic "butterfly" monogram.
