Description: | Unmounted (1) s. in stone with butterfly; b.r.
(2) Watermark; VRHYDT variant CRE WHISTLER, James McNeill; (American; 1834-1903) PRINT GOULDING, Frederick (English; 1842-1909) This is a posthumous printing. After Whistler?s death in 1903, his heir and sister-in-law, Rosalind Birnie Philip, commissioned the London printer, Frederick Goulding, to print posthumous editions of many of Whistler?s lithographs. Between October 1903 and May 1904, Goulding pulled impressions from 94 stones and transferred and printed 10 previously untransferred lithographic drawings. The transfer drawing for "Tete-a-Tete in the Garden" was made in Paris in the garden of Whistler?s home at 110 rue du Bac. The figures seated at the table in a shaded area of the garden have been identified as Ethel Birnie Philip and her husband, Charles Whibley. Thomas Way did not reprint this lithograph after he had pulled the original set of twenty-five impressions in July 1894, although posthumous editions were made.
