Description: | Unframed s. in plate with butterfly; u.r. CRE WHISTLER, James McNeill; (American; 1834-1903) This is a copper etching plate. Whistler explored the theme of ?Mother and Child? extensively, especially in lithography and pastel. The female model in this work wears an almost transparent gown, reflecting another theme, the female nude, or lightly draped female figure, that Whistler returned to throughout his career, using a variety of different media. (See also GLAHA 46975).
