Description: | CRE WHISTLER, Beatrix; (English; 1857-1896) The sitter is the artist's sister, Ethel Birnie Philip (1861-1920). Her nickname was Bunnie. She worked as a secretary for Whistler from 1890 until her marriage to the American writer, Charles Whibley (1859-1930) in 1894. She posed for many of Whistler's paintings and drawings, now in the Hunterian collection (see for example GLAHA 46318, 49035). Beatrix Whistler often drew Ethel in fashionable clothes.
This drawing is on a woodblock. The wood has not been cut away by the artist to produce a surface for printing.
