Description: | Royal (1) s. in stone with butterfly; c.r.
(2) stamp; v. square stamp of Miss Rosalind Birnie Philip CRE WHISTLER, James McNeill; (American; 1834-1903) PRINT BELFOND, Henry; (French; 19th century) "Draped Figure, Standing" is one of the most ambitious and experimental of Whistler's colour lithographs. Using commercially thin, transparent transfer paper for the keystone and for each successive colour stone, the artist was able to ensure accurate placement of the various colours. Whistler printed six colour lithographs with the French printer, Henry Belfond, between 1891 and 1893, although Whistler severed his relationship with Belfond in November, 1893. In late 1894 Belfond went bankrupt and the lithographic stones Whistler had left in his studio were never recovered. The image on the verso is in the opposite direction to that on the recto.
