Description: | Glass mount; 24.6 x 34.7 s. with butterfly; u.r. CRE WHISTLER, James McNeill; (American; 1834-1903) When exhibited in 1892 at the Royal Glasgow Institutes as "Violet and Yellow", this pastel was dismissed by the Glasgow Herald newspaper with the comment "the canary yellow is an excessive quantity". However, many years later the Observer newspaper was more appreciative, selecting it for special praise in light of the "graceful rhythm" of the drawing.
