The Beggars.
Etching and drypoint printed in dark, brownish black on antique, cream laid paper, 1879-80. 307x211 mm; 12¼x8¼ inches. MacDonald's fifteenth state (of 17). Signed with the butterfly and inscribed "imp." in pencil on the tab, lower left. Strasburg Lily watermark. From Twelve Etchings. A brilliant, richly-inked impression of this extremely scarce etching.This is one of the larger etchings in the first "Venice Set," made on a plate obtained directly from a Venetian craftsman (not one brought by Whistler from London). The view is through a relatively dark passageway from the Corte de la Carozze to the Campo Santa Margarita. Whistler reworked the figures several times after returning to London.
