Description: | Royal (1) s. in plate; b.r. "Whistler"
(2) inscr. in plate; b.r. "Imp. Delatre. Rue St. Jacques 171" CRE WHISTLER, James McNeill; (American; 1834-1903) PRINT DELATRE, Auguste; Paris (French; 1822-1907) This print is from an early printing of the 'French Set' - "Douze eaux-fortes d'apres nature" (Twelve Etchings from Nature) printed by Auguste Delatre in 1858. In the late summer or early autumn of 1858 Whistler drew "La Vieille aux Loques" from nature, and it is the first of his seated female profile portraits. The visual quality of the woman silhouetted in a doorway and thrown into relief by a shadowed interior was anticipated in some of Whistler?s own earlier work on paper. (See also GLAHA 46707). Bequeathed by Joseph Whistler Revillon in 1955. | 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 : FRENCH SET : RAG-GATHERER : WHISTLER CENTENARY : MMWE : | 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 |
