Description: | Gilded reeded (1) s. with a butterfly; c.r.
(2) Inscr. v. "No 15y" (crossed out), "No 7 / 71 / 70 / 9" CRE WHISTLER, James McNeill; (American; 1834-1903) The sitter in this watercolour is Miss Milly Finch, a model regularly used by Whistler in the early to mid 1880s. It has been noted that the opacity of the paint enabled Whistler to reinforce his subtle tones and obtain effects similar to oil. Other watercolours of Milly Finch are in the Freer Gallery of Art, Washington D.C., U.S.A., a private collection, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, U.S.A. and Cincinnati Art Museum, U.S.A. (MacDonald 1995 (905-907, 930, 933, 935)). There are also three oil portraits of Milly Finch in this collection (See GLAHA 46321/46322/46323).
