Description: | Gilded reeded, 82.4 x 62.8 x 7.2 stamp; v. (stretcher) "Maison CHAPUIS / BRISSOE (?) Freres, Neveux (?) Successeurs (?) / 20 quai de la Magisserie / 2. Rue des Bourdonnis (?) 2" CRE WHISTLER, James McNeill; (American; 1834-1903) This work is one of several self-portraits from the 1890s and was painted in Whistler's Fitzroy Street studio, London. The dark colour scheme and the attempt to show the inner as well as the outer person, are reminiscent of Rembrandt's (1606-1669) self-portraits. This sketch is related to the portrait "Gold and Brown" (YMSM 462) in the collection of the National Gallery of Art, Washington D.C., USA. Another related oil study, "Self-Portrait" (YMSM 460) is included in the Hunterian collection (See GLAHA 46373).
