Description: | Glass mount; 37.4 x 24.6 (1) s. with a butterfly; r. (on sofa)
(2) Inscr. b.r. "o" CRE WHISTLER, James McNeill; (American; 1834-1903) This is a dramatic and accomplished drawing. Working on lithography in Paris influenced Whistler's work in pastel. The sketch on the verso was drawn the other way up from the recto. It is crude, practically illegible, and not necessarily by Whistler. The "o" inscribed on the work may be a mark of appreciation added by Whistler or his wife, Beatrix, to works that they found pleasing.
