(2) s. with butterfly on tab and inscr.; "imp" CRE WHISTLER, James McNeill; (American; 1834-1903) PRINT WHISTLER, James McNeill; (American; 1834-1903) This is possibly a portrait of Ethel Birnie Philip, Whistler's sister-in-law. The title of the work is taken from the fur hat worn by the sitter, which probably reminded Whistler of a soldier's Bearskin hat. The etching plate of this work is also in the Hunterian collection (GLAHA 50500).
