Description: | Royal s. in plate; b.r. "Whistler 1860" (with 6 reversed) CRE WHISTLER, James McNeill; (American; 1834-1903) Whistler made this portrait of his young niece, Annie Haden, in early 1860 while staying with his half-sister?s family in their home on Sloane Street, London. He was particularly pleased with the results of this plate, and his preoccupation with the description of texture and the effects of reflected light are apparent in the finished etching. The etching plate for this work is also in the Hunterian collection. (See GLAHA 50260).
