Description: | Gilded reeded, 203.3 x 101.7 x 6.6 None CRE WHISTLER, James McNeill; (American; 1834-1903) Miss Milly Finch was a professional model who posed for Whistler during the 1880s. In painting this portrait, Whistler's main interest was not in capturing a true likeness of the sitter, but rather in concentrating on colour and form. The same sitter appears in two other full-length oils (See GLAHA 46322/ 46323) and one watercolour (See GLAHA 46090), all included in the Hunterian collection. Several other watercolours of her are also recorded in MacDonald 1995 and may be found in collections in America, including the Freer Gallery of Art, Washington D.C., USA.
