Description: | Royal (1) s. in stone with butterfly; c.r.
(2) s. in pencil with butterfly; b.l.
(3) stamp; v. square stamp of Miss Rosalind Birnie Philip PRINT WAY, Thomas Robert; (English; 1861-1913) CRE WHISTLER, James McNeill; (American; 1834-1903) The sitter in this lithograph is Beatrix Whistler. She sits resting at one end of a sofa and appears to be almost asleep, a newspaper or magazine abandoned in her lap. Beatrix's listless pose may be due to the onset of her illness that was diagnosed as cancer towards the end of 1894. When Whistler received the proofs of "La Belle Dame Paresseuse" from Thomas Way, he was delighted with the quality of the results. This lithograph was printed by Thomas Way in 1894.
