Description: | CRE UNKNOWN; This mahlstick is part of the collection of James McNeill Whistler's artist's materials held by the Hunterian Art Gallery. A mahlstick is used by a painter to avoid damage to a work in progress. The round end would have rested against the canvas and the other end would have been held by the artist. His working wrist or hand could then rest on the length of the stick without touching the painting's surface.
