CRE WHISTLER, James McNeill; (American; 1834-1903) After the death of his wife, Whistler adopted her sister, Rosalind Birnie Philip, as his ward. The three oil portraits "The Black Hat: Rosalind Birnie Philip" (YMSM 535), "The Jade Necklace" (YMSM 478) and "Miss Rosalind Birnie Philip standing" (YMSM 479), all by Whistler and of the same sitter, are in this collection (See GLAHA 46383/ 46382/ 46369). A similar chair to the one in this drawing, once owned by Whistler, is also in the Hunterian Art Gallery collection.
