Description: | Gilded reeded, 38.1 x 48.1 x 7.2 s. with butterfly; b.l. CRE WHISTLER, James McNeill; (American; 1834-1903) This forge belonged to Samuel Govier and was situated on Broad Street in Lyme Regis, England. Working forges, with their strong contrasts of light and shade, were a recurrent subject for Whistler. In Lyme Regis he also painted a portrait of the blacksmith George Govier, "The Master Smith of Lyme Regis" (YMSM 450), now in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, USA, as well as several lithographs of the smithy.
