Description: | Unframed s. in plate; b.r. "Whistler.1859." CRE WHISTLER, James McNeill; (American; 1834-1903) This is an etching plate. Whistler worked in Paris during the autumn of 1859 and the majority of the etchings he made were self-portraits or portraits of his friends. The sitter in this image is Zacharie Astruc, a painter and sculptor, as well as editor of the journal 'L'Artiste'. As with many other works made at this time, the artist?s primary focus is on the face of the sitter, to the exclusion of peripheral detail. (See also GLAHA 49978/50310).
