Description: | Unmounted (1) s. in stone with butterfly; u.l.
(2) Watermark; "R. MUNN & CO. / 1824" CRE WHISTLER, James McNeill; (American; 1834-1903) PRINT WAY, Thomas Robert; (English; 1861-1913) Whistler drew "Courtyard, Chelsea Hospital" directly on stone rather than on transfer paper. The stone appears to have been coarsely grained, providing a difficult drawing surface; as a result, impressions are somewhat spotty and lacking in clarity. Whistler probably drew this view when he was living nearby during the summer of 1888.
