The French section of the route provided Whistler with ample opportunities to sketch an unspoilt rural area and it was at a farm in Alsace that he etched "The Dog on the Kennel".
This etching was purchased by the University of Glasgow from J. & R. Edmiston & Co., Glasgow, on 23rd April 1958. | License: | http://www.hmag.gla.ac.uk/spirit/rights/ | Publisher: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Rights holder: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Subjects: | INTERIOR : DOG : GENRE : KENNEL : ALSACE : WHISTLER CENTENARY : | Source: | Hunterian Museum | Creator: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Identifier: | http://www.huntsearch.gla.ac.uk/cgi-bin/... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
