Description: | Royal (1) s. in plate with butterfly; c.r.
(2) s. on tab with butterfly and inscr. in pencil; "imp" CRE WHISTLER, James McNeill; (American; 1834-1903) PRINT WHISTLER, James McNeill; (American; 1834-1903) Throughout his career, Whistler was fond of exploring the subject of doorways and the effects of their shadowed interiors contrasted with the bright illumination of a building?s exterior. In this image, figures are emerging from the doorway into the bright light outside. The building?s interior has been etched by Whistler with many cross-hatched lines, effectively deepening the shadow. The etching plate for this work is also in the Hunterian collection (GLAHA 50400). (See also GLAHA 46980-46982/46984).
