DAVID YOUNG CAMERON Robert Lee's Workshop.
Etching and drypoint on tissue-thin, cream laid Japan paper, 1905. 300x220 mm; 11 3/4x8 3/4 inches, full margins. Third state (of 3). Signed in pencil, lower right. A brilliant, richly-inked and warm impression.
According to Rinder, "This etching shows the boat builder's workshop at Tweedmouth of the Rev. Robert Lee's father, in which for some time the eminent minister himself worked."
This work has close similarities to Whistler's etchings. Two boat builders, framed by an archway, stand in the center of the composition. As Getscher points out in The Stamp of Whistler, the view is almost a negative of Whistler's Lime-Burner, lots 31 and 32 (p. 234). Rinder 375.
