Description: | Unframed 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, in relation to his Venice etchings, he had ample opportunity to depict the elaborate doorways and archways of the city, while at the same time experimenting with chiaroscuro effects, and the contrast of light and shadow in their mysterious openings and passageways. (See also GLAHA 46618).
