Description: | Unframed (1) s. in plate with butterfly; c.l.
(2) inscr. in plate; "HOTEL / HALLLES CENTRALES / RAYMOND FILS / HOTEL" CRE WHISTLER, James McNeill; (American; 1834-1903) This is a copper etching plate. The subject of market places attracted Whistler throughout his career and he explored the theme in a variety of different media. The artist visited this market place while spending time in the town of Tours, in the Loire area of France. The composition of this work is particularly attractive as it effectively draws the eye of the spectator into the picture space.
