Description: | Royal (1) s. with butterfly in plate; u.c.
(2) s. on tab with butterfly and inscr. in pencil; "imp"
(3) inscr. in pencil by Whistler; v. "2 mar. 6" CRE WHISTLER, James McNeill; (American; 1834-1903) PRINT WHISTLER, James McNeill; (American; 1834-1903) This landscape etching was one of Whistler's personal favourites. The view is of Zaandam, not far from Amsterdam, near the Dutch coast. Windmills can be seen on the distant horizon, and the delicately incised lines in on the skyline suggest rainclouds. The water in the foreground reflects the grass and the mast of a small boat. The etching plate for this work is also in the Hunterian collection (GLAHA 50478).
