Description: | Royal s. in plate; b.l. "Whistler" CRE WHISTLER, James McNeill; (American; 1834-1903) PUB English Etchings This subject was printed as part of the 'French Set' - "Douze eaux-fortes d'apres nature" (Twelve Etchings from Nature) published by Auguste Delatre in 1858. This state was also published in 1886 in 'English Etchings'. In the summer of 1858 Whistler spent ten days in Cologne where he made a number of sketches, some of which would be used later as a basis for etchings. The most important of these, annotated "Marchand de Potions a Cologne", which was drawn in pencil, was etched after Whistler?s return to Paris and given the title, "La Marchande de Moutarde". The etching depends for its effectiveness on complex linear patterns, defining objects and space with contrasting areas of light and shadow. The preparatory drawing for this etching is now in the Freer Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C., USA (MacDonald 1995 (272)). (See also GLAHA 46708).
This etching was bequeathed to the University of Glasgow by Gilbert Innes c.1961. | 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 : MUSTARD SELLER : POTTERY : COLOGNE : 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 |
