Description: | Royal (1) s. in plate; b.r. "Whistler 1859" (2) inscr. in pencil; below plate b.l. "20" CRE WHISTLER, James McNeill; (American; 1834-1903) This etching was made by Whistler in 1859 at a riverside tavern on the Thames. The subject is of working men from the wharves and docks of the Thames and in drawing the figures, Whistler moved away from precise attention to detail, drawing more feely with a succession of clean lines.
This etching was presented to the University of Glasgow by Dr. J. A. McCallum (1862-1948). | 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 : TAVERN : CHILD : TANKARD : PIPESMOKING : WHISTLER CENTENARY : IAA : 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 |
