Description: | Royal s. in plate; b.r. "Whistler 1859" CRE WHISTLER, James McNeill; (American; 1834-1903) This plate was published in 1871 by Ellis and Green as part of 'Sixteen Etchings of Scenes on the Thames and Other Subjects?. Impressions were also later available through The Fine Art Society and the artist himself. In this composition, Whistler has used alternating areas of light and shadow as a means by which to draw the eye of the spectator into the picture, giving depth to the image. This technique is used by Whistler in a number of his successive etchings.
This work was bequeathed to the University of Glasgow 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: | THAMES SET : PORTRAIT : W JONES : INTERIOR : THAMES STREET : SIEVE : LADDERS : BARRELS : 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 |
