Description: | Royal s. in stone with butterfly; u.r. CRE WHISTLER, James McNeill; (American; 1834-1903) PRINT BELFOND, Henry; (French; 19th century) 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 Befond went bankrupt and the lithographic stones Whistler had left in his studio were never recovered. Although this lithograph was printed in France, it is believed that the original drawing was executed in London and that the model posing with the child is one of the three Pettigrew sisters, all of whom were favourite models of Whistler's.
