Description: | Unframed (1) s. in plate with butterfly; u.r.
(2) envelope inscr. in pencil by Whistler; "Destroy after couple of proofs" CRE WHISTLER, James McNeill; (American; 1834-1903) This is a copper etching plate. It depicts one of Whistler?s favourite subjects, and one which he attempted in various media: the busy atmosphere of small shops and markets attracted the artist throughout his career. This particular image of a fish market was made by Whistler in 1887 during a visit to the town of Ostend, in Belgium.
