(2) Stamp: v. "A.HOLLAND / 20, Broad St., W.1" CRE WHISTLER, James McNeill; (American; 1834-1903) Mrs Frances Leyland was the wife of Whistler's patron, Liverpool shipping magnate, F.R Leyland. Whistler did several drawings of her, but this is the only one that can be considered a true portrait. He took great care over her profile, drawing it twice, either for emphasis or precision.There are other drawings of Mrs Leyland in the Freer Gallery of Art, Washington D.C., U.S.A., and in private collections (MacDonald 1995 (545, 546, 548)). (See also GLAHA 46774).
