Description: | Unframed s. in plate; b.l. "Whistler / 1861" CRE WHISTLER, James McNeill; (American; 1834-1903) Having been seriously ill with Rheumatic Fever in July of 1861, by August Whistler had recovered enough to visit his friends Edwin and Ruth Edwards at their home in Sunbury, near Hampton Court. It was during this visit that Whistler made "Landscape with a Fisherman". The style of the etchings made by Whistler during the summer of 1861 is much looser than previous works, reflecting the influence of artists such as Corot and Daubigny. The only known impressions of this work are from the cancelled plate. (See also GLAHA 50013/50309).
