(2) inscr. in pencil; below plate "P" CRE WHISTLER, James McNeill; (American; 1834-1903) PUB Fine Art Society; (London) This figure study of Maude Franklin, Whistler?s model and mistress during the late 1870s and early 1880s, is one of his more successful attempts at drawing the human form from this period. During the 1870s, Whistler abandoned and cancelled many such studies as he strove to meet his own high expectations. This impression was taken from the cancelled plate. It was published by the Fine Art Society in 1879. (See also GLAHA 50025).
