Description: | Royal Inscr. in pencil by Harold Wright; "Composition - Nude figures on a terrace - Whistler" CRE WHISTLER, James McNeill; (American; 1834-1903) "Variations in Blue and Green" is one of the "Six Projects" intended for the Liverpool shipping magnate, F.R.Leyland, now in the Freer Gallery of Art, Washington D.C., USA. It is a slightly unusual drawing for Whistler in that it is in red chalk rather than black. The pose of the model is reminiscent of women in Kiyonaga prints from Whistler's own collection. Another closely related drawing is in a private collection (MacDonald 1995 (348)). Harold Wright, who inscribed the work, was a scholar from Colnaghi's department of print and drawings who helped Miss Birnie Philip to catalogue Whistler's estate. (See also GLAHA 46017).
