Description: | Unmounted (1) s. in stone with butterfly; b.r.
(2) Watermark; "DHR" CRE WHISTLER, James McNeill; (American; 1834-1903) PRINT WAY, Thomas Robert; (English; 1861-1913) In this lithograph, Whistler?s choice of subject matter follows the eighteenth-century tradition of depicting groups of spectators studying and copying works of art in museums and galleries. Here, Whistler has captured not only the scale of the long room, but also the quality of the light and the glossy surface of the highly polished floor. This lithograph was printed by Thomas Way.
