JAMES A. M. WHISTLER En Plein Soleil.
Etching on Chine volant, 1859. 100x135 mm; 4x5 3/8 inches, full margins. MacDonald's third state (of 3), with the address of Delâtre; an early impression in this state with the upside down signature in the plate upper left and the diagonal scratch through the clouds at right distinct, and with the plate corners still sharp (according to MacDonald, they were clipped off before the printing of the later impressions and those plate corners are blunt diagonals). From Douze eaux-fortes d'après Nature. A superb, early impression with warm plate tone and crisp, partially inky plate edges. Kennedy 15; Glasgow 11.
