Description: | Oval, 65.7 x 52.7 x 4.2 stamp; v. (stretcher) "MAISON CHAPUIS" CRE WHISTLER, James McNeill; (American; 1834-1903) This portrait of an unknown sitter was painted in Whistler's studio at 186, rue Notre Dame des Champs, Paris, France. The high level of finish seen on the head in relation to the rest of the picture is unusual. Normally Whistler preferred to establish the overall tonal and colour relationships before filling in the details.
