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 Belfond went bankrupt and the lithographic stones Whistler had left in his studio were never recovered. The keystone drawing for this image was made in London in the early spring of 1892, when Whistler was dividing his time between Paris and London. The model is almost certainly one the the three Pettigrew sisters, all of whom were favourite model's of Whistler. This lithograph is a second state impression.
