(3) stamp; v. round stamp of Miss Rosalind Birnie Philip CRE WHISTLER, James McNeill; (American; 1834-1903) PRINT GOULDING, Frederick (English; 1842-1909) This is a posthumous print. After Whistler?s death in 1903, his heir and sister-in-law, Rosalind Birnie Philip, commissioned the London printer, Frederick Goulding, to print posthumous editions of many of Whistler?s lithographs. Between October 1903 and May 1904, Goulding pulled impressions from 94 stones and transferred and printed 10 previously untransferred lithographic drawings. In a letter to Thomas Way, upon receiving the proofs of this image, Whistler wrote: "The little sitting figure in drapery I am immensely pleased with . . . " Whistler?s technique and his command of the lithographic materials allowed him to effectively capture the texture of the fine fabric that clings to the figure of the young girl.

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: | SOFA : DRAPERY : WHISTLER CENTENARY : | 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 |
