Description: | Royal s. in plate; b.r. "Whistler 1859." CRE WHISTLER, James McNeill; (American; 1834-1903) Whistler worked in Paris during the autumn of 1859 and the majority of the etchings he made were self-portraits or portraits of his friends. This is a self-portrait and, as with many other works Whistler made at this time, his primary focus is on the face, to the exclusion of peripheral detail. This impression was taken from the cancelled plate. The etching plate for this work is also in the Hunterian collection (GLAHA 50258). (See also GLAHA 46744/46746/49979).
