(2) s. below plate with butterfly and inscr.; b.l. "imp" CRE WHISTLER, James McNeill; (American; 1834-1903) PRINT WHISTLER, James McNeill; (American; 1834-1903) PUB DOWDESWELL and Dowdeswell, Messrs This work is included in 'The Second Venice Set', or 'A Set of Twenty-six Etchings', as published by Messrs. Dowdeswell and Dowdeswell, London, in 1886. "Nocturne: Furnace" successfully combines a number of Whistler?s favourite themes. The subject of a blacksmith's furnace reflects his interest in workshops and the dark of night allows him to provide a natural frame for the brightly lit interior. The composition of looking in from outside recurs in several of his Venice etchings. (See also GLAHA 46875/ 46876/ 49881/ 49973).
