Description: | Painted with fishscale pattern on right side. None CRE WHISTLER, James McNeill; (American; 1834-1903) Whistler painted a number of portraits of Italian children, and this is probably the same boy as in "Brun et or: De Race" (YMSM 511, See GLAHA 46327), as it is noted that Whistler thought the boy "de race", i.e. a thorough-bred. It is believed that this work was painted in Paris. It was left unfinished with only the features being sketched roughly in crayon.
