Description: | Unmounted (1) s. in stone with butterfly; u.r.
(2) stamp; v. square stamp of Miss Rosalind Birnie Philip CRE WHISTLER, James McNeill; (American; 1834-1903) PRINT WAY, Thomas Robert; (English; 1861-1913) "The Russian Schube" is one of four portrait lithographs that Whistler made of his American friend, Joseph Pennell, in January 1896. The title of this portrait refers to the voluminous, high-collared Russian coat worn by Pennell. After "The Russian Schube" was transferred to stone, Whistler made a number of revisions that emphasised the effect of bright side lighting and deep cast shadows in the drawing. No posthumous edition of this lithograph was printed and Miss Rosalind Birnie Philip had the stone destroyed in 1903, after Whistler?s death. This lithograph was printed by Thomas Way.
