Description: | Royal CRE WHISTLER, James McNeill; (American; 1834-1903) PRINT LEMERCIER, Alfred; (French; 19th century) Whistler met Comte Robert de Montesquiou-Fezensac in 1885, and painted his portrait in 1891/92. When Whistler exhibited "Arrangement in Black and Gold: Comte Robert de Montesquiou-Fezensac" (YMSM 392; The Frick Collection, New York, U.S.A.) in May 1894, the portrait proved a great critical success, and the artist was approached by the publishers of several periodicals interested in reproducing it. Whistler and his wife, Beatrix, both produced transfer drawings of the portrait. However, Whistler was not satisfied with the printed results and a published edition of this lithograph did not appear. This lithograph was printed by the French printer, Alfred Lemercier in c.1894-1894. (See also 49175/49177 - 49181/49458/49459/49644).
