Description: | Royal None CRE WHISTLER, James McNeill; (American; 1834-1903) The collector George Washington Vanderbilt, (1862-1914), was the grandson of the railway magnate Cornelius Vanderbilt. He owned a fine collection of etchings by Whistler and Rembrandt. The finished oil, for which this is a study, is in the National Gallery of Art, Washington D.C., USA (YMSM 481). In this sketch the legs are further apart and the left leg is further back than it is in the oil. Whistler worked on the portrait at intervals for four or five years.
