Impressions taken from this plate (1) |
Recto, above; verso, below:
The copper plate does not have a maker's stamp but was probably produced by Hughes & Kimber. The plate is similar in size to a number of plates including figure studies such as
The Menpes Children
[300] and
Woman sleeping in a chair
[401], and to several other scenes etched in Loches including
Theatre, Loches
[418] and
Hôtel de la Promenade, Loches
[415].
The plate was in Whistler's studio at his death and bequeathed to Rosalind Birnie Philip (1873-1958) who gave it to the University of Glasgow in 1935. It was cancelled posthumously with a diagonal line across the lower left corner.
