Description: | Gilded reeded None CRE WHISTLER, James McNeill; (American; 1834-1903) This watercolour is possibly related to a lost oil painting, "Harmony in Blue and Gold" (YMSM 197) which was exhibited at the Society of British Artists 1886 (298). Whistler worked on a damp surface to create the soft-edged shapes in this watercolour. It is possible that he was trying to attain unity by painting the whole picture quickly, just as he tried to cover a canvas in one session.
