Description: | Royal Inscr. by Harold Wright; v. "Study for a proposed portrait of the Duke of Marlborough" CRE WHISTLER, James McNeill; (American; 1834-1903) CRE George Charles Spencer - Churchill, 8th Duke of Marlborough (1844-1892) was an enthusiast of Whistler's work from as early as 1890 (The Salon and the Royal Academy, New Review, no.14, July 1890 p.54). He praised the French who "raved over Whistler, and recognised his delicacy and merit when Engllish Pharisees of art laughed at him". The Duke was an extremely wealthy man and certainly a very desirable patron for Whistler.
