Description: | Royal (1) s. in plate; b.l. "Whistler"
(2) inscr. in pencil; below plate "M 31 / K 27 ii / The Wine Glass. 31 / C.8049 / C." CRE WHISTLER, James McNeill; (American; 1834-1903) Still life was not a subject that Whistler focused on greatly during his career, but this etching of a wine glass proves his capability in the area. This study of a lit object against a dark background shows Whistler's acute observational skills and attention to the smallest detail.
This etching was purchased by the University of Glasgow from Morrison, McChlery & Co. on the 7 November 1956. | 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: | STILL-LIFE : WHISTLER CENTENARY : IAA : | 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 |
