(3) Watermark; a circle CRE WHISTLER, James McNeill; (American; 1834-1903) PRINT WHISTLER, James McNeill; (American; 1834-1903) This streetscape was made by Whistler in 1887. Chelsea was an area of London that Whistler was particularly fond of and he lived and worked there for a number of years. Whistler frequently painted, drew or etched shopfronts, and the subject remained a favourite theme in his work throughout his career. He was also interested in the chiaroscuro effects of dark doorways contrasted with a bright exterior. The etching plate for this work is also in the Hunterian collection (See GLAHA 50374).
