Description: | Royal (1) Inscr. in an unknown hand; v. "(103) / 42"
(2) Stamp: "E. MARY & FILS / 26 RUE CHAPTAL, PARIS" CRE WHISTLER, James McNeill; (American; 1834-1903) This watercolour was painted in Brittany, probably in the summer/autumn of 1888 when Whistler painted several watercolours on linen. In this particular one, some washes were allowed to run while others were blotted. The colours are pale, with luminous shades of grey, brown, green and cream giving a cool and harmonious effect. The board that the linen is attached to bears the stamp of E. Mary and Fils - one of Whistler's main sources of art materials.
