Description: | Gilded reeded, 207.0 x 104.2 x 6.2 None CRE WHISTLER, James McNeill; (American; 1834-1903) Miss Milly Finch was a professional model who posed for Whistler during the 1880's. In painting this portriat, Whistler's main interest was not in capturing a true likeness of the sitter, but rather in concentrating on the themes of colour and form. Hence the title indicates that this piece should be viewed as an exercise in colour, rather than as a protrait of a specific person. There are also two other full-length oils (See GLAHA 46321/46323) and one watercolour (See GLAHA 46090) of the same sitter in the Hunterian collection. Several other watercolours of Milly Finch are in collections in America, as recorded in MacDonald 1995. Birnie Philip Gift, 1935, not lendable. | License: | http://www.hmag.gla.ac.uk/spirit/rights/ | Publisher: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Rights holder: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Subjects: | PORTRAIT : FAN : SCARF : MILLY FINCH : WHISTLER CENTENARY : | Source: | Hunterian Museum | Creator: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Identifier: | http://www.huntsearch.gla.ac.uk/cgi-bin/... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
