Description: | Royal s. with a butterfly; c.l. CRE WHISTLER, James McNeill; (American; 1834-1903) "The Three Girls" (YMSM 88) for which this drawing is a preliminary study is in the Freer Gallery of Art, Washington D.C., U.S.A. The drawing corresponds to the small oil sketch; "The White Symphony: Three Girls" (YMSM 87), also in the Freer Gallery of Art. Andrew McLaren Young believes the figures in "The Three Girls" to be inspired by Greek terracotta statuettes. There are several pentimenti on the standing figure.
