Description: | Royal (1) s. in plate with butterfly; r.c.
(2) inscr. on backing sheet; b.r. "13" 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 work were published by Dowdeswell and Dowdeswell, London, in 1886 and are included in 'The Second Venice Set', or 'A Set of Twenty-Six Etchings'. However, "Little Court" is one of five non-Venetian subjects included in the published edition. In this image Whistler has successfully combined two of his favourite subjects: the busy atmosphere of the workplace and the compositional device of a doorway, contrasting the dark interior with the bright sunshine outside. (See also GLAHA 46619).
