JAMES A. M. WHISTLER
Bibi Lalouette.

Etching and drypoint, 1859. 230x153 mm; 9x6 inches, full margins. MacDonald's second state (of 2), with pentimenti of the heads lower left and lower right still visible. A superb, early, richly-inked impression with inky plate edges and all the fine details distinct.

An early impression in this state, with the delicate diagonal scratch across the sleeve, similar in quality to the impression at the Freer Gallery of Art, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C. Kennedy 51; Glasgow 33.
