In "The Little Mast", Whistler?s placing of a vertical object in the centre of the picture space, effectively dividing the composition into two parts, reflects the influence of Japanese prints on his work. According to Whistler?s biographer, Joseph Pennell, this scene was drawn in the Via Garibaldi, near the Public Gardens, in Venice. (See also GLAHA 46799/49962).
