CRE WHISTLER, James McNeill; (American; 1834-1903) PRINT WHISTLER, James McNeill; (American; 1834-1903) The model depicted in this etching is Hetty Pettigrew. The Pettigrew sisters were popular models with Whistler, as well as other artists of the time. Her pose is reminiscent of the traditional reclining Venus. Whistler explored the theme of the female nude, or lightly draped female figure, throughout his career. The etching plate for this work is also in the Hunterian collection. (GLAHA 50432).
