Description: | Royal (1) s. below plate with butterfly and inscr. in pencil; "imp"
(2) inscr. in pencil on backing paper; b.r. "8" CRE WHISTLER, James McNeill; (American; 1834-1903) PRINT WHISTLER, James McNeill; (American; 1834-1903) This impression was taken from the cancelled plate. Other states of this image were published by Dowdeswell and Dowdeswell, London, in 1886 and are included in 'The Second Venice Set', or 'A Set of Twenty-Six Etchings'. It has been suggested that Whistler made this etching from his room in the Casa Jankovitz, on the Riva degli Schiavoni in Venice. From his two windows, he could either look upon the Doge?s Palace and the Piazzetta, or in the direction of the churches of San Giorgio and Santa Maria della Salute. (See also GLAHA 46849).
