Description: | Royal (1) s. in stone with butterfly; c.r.
(2) s. in pencil with butterfly; b.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 191 and 1893, although Whistler severed his relationship with Belfond in November 1893. In late 1894, Belfond went bankrupt and the lithographic stones that Whistler had left in his studio were never recovered. This is a third state impression. It is not certain where this building was. The building in rue de la Poissoniere, which most closely resembled the house depicted, no longer survives. However, the building drawn by Whistler may be on the Place Le Trocquer, Pontrieux, which is fourteen miles east of Lannion.
