Description: | Unframed s. in plate with butterfly; c.l. CRE WHISTLER, James McNeill; (American; 1834-1903) This is a copper etching plate. The model depicted in this etching is Hetty Pettigrew, one of the Pettigrew sisters who were all popular models with Whistler, as well as with other artists of the time. The pose of the figure is reminiscent of the traditional reclining Venus. Whistler explored the theme of the female nude, or lightly draped female figure, throughout his career in a variety of different media. (See also GLAHA 46970-46974).
