Description: | Unframed s. in plate with butterfly; c.r. CRE WHISTLER, James McNeill; (American; 1834-1903) This is a copper etching plate. The model depicted in this etching is thought to be one of the Pettigrew sisters who were all popular models with Whistler, as well as with other artists of the time. The natural pose of the figure suggests an impromptu study, capturing the grace and elegance of the female figure in motion. Whistler explored the theme of the female nude, or lightly draped female figure, throughout his career in a variety of different media.
