Description: | Royal (1) s. in stone with butterfly; b.r.
(2) stamp; v. square stamp of Miss Rosalind Birnie Philip PRINT WAY, Thomas Robert; (English; 1861-1913) CRE WHISTLER, James McNeill; (American; 1834-1903) In this lithograph, Whistler?s choice of subject matter follows the eighteenth-century tradition of depicting groups of spectators studying and copying works of art in museums and galleries. Here, Whistler captured not only the scale of the long room, but also the quality of the light and the glossy surface of the highly polished floor. This lithograph was printed by Thomas Way in 1894.
