Description: | Gilded reeded, 85.8 x 65.4 x 6.8 None CRE WHISTLER, James McNeill; (American; 1834-1903) The sitter, Rosalind Birnie Philip (1873-1958), was the youngest sister of Whistler's wife, Beatrix. Rosalind inherited the contents of Whistler's studio on his death and it is this estate, with some later additions, that constitutes the Whistler Collection in the University of Glasgow. This portrait was painted in Whistler's Fitzroy Street studio, London, in 1896, but was reworked after exhibition at the Society of Portrait Painters, London. The Indian jade necklace is also in the Hunterian collection. Rosalind was also the subject of at least four other oil portraits, as well as a number of drawings and lithographs (See GLAHA 46201/ 46244/ 46260/ 46369/ 46383).
