Description: | Unmounted (1) s. in stone with butterfly; c.r.
(2) Watermark; MC
(3) stamp; v. square stamp of Miss Rosalind Birnie Philip CRE WHISTLER, James McNeill; (American; 1834-1903) PRINT WAY, Thomas Robert; (English; 1861-1913) This is the second state of this lithograph, printed by Thomas Way. The drawing appears to have been executed rapidly, with a light touch, and when first proved it looked very much like a chalk or pencil sketch. After a few impressions had been pulled, Whistler removed most of the hatched shadow above the central doorway, thereby emphasising the simplicity of the forms.
