Description: | Glass mount; 34.7 x 24.6 (1) s. with a butterfly; c.l. (2) Stamp: v. "A.HOLLAND / 20 , Broad St, Golden Sq., W.1 / Frame Maker & / Mount Cutter" CRE WHISTLER, James McNeill; (American; 1834-1903) Miss Rosalind Birnie Philip suggested that these were two studies of the hands of Whistler's patron, Liverpool shipping magnate, F.R. Leyland, in preparation for his portrait now in Freer Gallery of Art, Washington D.C., USA. (YMSM 97). However, their delicate and slim appearance indicate that they are more likely to be the hands of a woman.
