Description: | Gilded reeded, 91.3 x 75.8 x 4.7 None CRE WHISTLER, James McNeill; (American; 1834-1903) The sitter for this painting is Lily Pettigrew. Born in about 1874, she was the middle sister of three girls, all of whom were popular models used by artists such as John Everett Millais (1819-1896), Walter Richard Sickert (1860-1942), Frederic Leighton (1830-1896) and, of course, Whistler. Lily's beauty was praised by her younger sister Rose and has been captured perfectly by Whistler, accentuating her big brown eyes and curly red hair.
