Description: | Full Screen: 195.0 x 182.0
Left Screen: 195.0 x 90.3
Right Screen: 195.0 x 89 s. with butterfly on frame CRE WHISTLER, James McNeill; (American; 1834-1903) Whistler originally painted this screen for his patron, Liverpool shipping magnate, F. R. Leyland, but instead kept it for his own studio. The scene is an impression of the River Thames at night and the clock tower of Chelsea Church can be seen on the left panel. The frame is decorated with painted flowers and a series of double lines which suggest bamboo stems (See also GLAHA 46380). The screen can be seen in the background of a pastel by Whistler, also in the Hunterian collection (See GLAHA 46192).
