A stance due west from a dining tabular array inward the eastern ground-floor bay window of the Trafalgar Tavern (built 1837). The creative someone has his dorsum to the river in addition to an undisturbed tabular array setting of cutlery, 3 spectacles in addition to cruet earlier him on the white cloth, alongside purpose of some other setting visible on the other side of the table.

The right answers

This was a flake to a greater extent than hard than I expecting - in addition to didn't generate many entries.

I started to plow over clues

1. First clue: This is a drawing of a stance from within a edifice which I accept sketched. 
2. My adjacent clue was "It isn't who yous intend it is!" - inward response to somebody why idea it mightiness move Whistler. Whistler of class did a whole suite of etchings of London in addition to the Thames 
3. Third clue: It's non a drawing (ie thus it must move a fine fine art impress which limits this to artists who produced prints from their artwork) 
4. Fourth clue OK - it's non James Whistler but is past times somebody who was making at at the same fourth dimension every bit Whistler...and it is inward London, nearly a river.....

(I peradventure need to lookout how I phrase things a flake to a greater extent than carefully)

By midweek nosotros had 2 submissions which came inward pretty to a greater extent than or less 1 another.

Congratulations to Zoya of Step, Skip, Pause

Date in addition to media were a flake harder to find.
