Description: | Gilded reeded, 47.3 x 37.7 x 3.2 None CRE WHISTLER, James McNeill; (American; 1834-1903) This portrait was painted in Whistler's Paris studio. The sitter, Rosalind Birnie Philip (1873-1958), was the youngest sister of Whistler's wife, Beatrix, and was nicknamed by Whistler as 'The Major'. She acted as Whistler's secretary and inherited all the material left in his studio on his death. This estate, with a little supplementation, constitutes the Whistler Collection in the University of Glasgow.
