CRE WHISTLER, James McNeill; (American; 1834-1903) This is a study for the title-page of "The Baronet and the Butterfly", an account of the Eden versus Whistler affair. Sir William Eden, a former patron of Whistler's, brought a case against him after a quarrel over payment for a portrait of his wife, Lady Eden. The portrait was later changed by Whistler so that Eden could not claim it even if he won the case.
