Description: | Royal None CRE WHISTLER, James McNeill; (American; 1834-1903) The title of this work is that given by Miss Rosalind Birnie Philip and may be incorrect. It cannot be assumed that the drawing was done in Venice. There are strong stylistic links between this drawing and "Nellie Farren/Demon" (MacDonald 1995 (665), GLAHA 46073), as well as with other drawings connected with the farce "Little Doctor Faust" by Henry James Byron. Whistler saw this play and "The Grasshopper" at the Gaiety Theatre, London, on 7 January 1878. Other drawings relating to this production are in the Munson-Williams-Proctor-Institute, Utica, U.S.A. (MacDonald 1995 (667-668)). (See also GLAHA 46073 - 46075/46077).
