Description: | Unframed s. in plate with butterfly; c.r. CRE WHISTLER, James McNeill; (American; 1834-1903) This is a copper etching plate. Throughout his career, Whistler was fond of exploring the subject of doorways and archways, paying particular attention to chiaroscuro effects, and the contrast of light and shadow in their mysterious openings and passageways. In this image, a group of woman mending carpets can be seen in the gloom of the doorway. (See also GLAHA 46646).
