Description
JAMES MCNEIL WHISTLER
(1834 - 1903) American artist, a portrait painter with a pugnacious attitude best remembered for the portrait of his mother seated in a rocker. Fine signed photograph of his ca. 1872 oil "Arrangement in Grey and Black, No. 2: Portrait of Thomas Carlyle", 15 1/2" x 21" overall, signed "Whistler" in pencil and adding his delicate "butterfly" paraph beneath. Mat lightly toned, else fine. Double-matted and ready to frame. The work depicts the Scottish social critic, philosopher and historian Thomas Carlyle in a composition similar to that of Whistler's "Arrangement in Grey and Black: Portrait of the Artist's Mother", painted in 1871. Carlyle saw the work, and asked that Whistler paint him in the same manner.
