JAMES A. M. WHISTLER Lagoon: Noon.
Etching printed in dark brown on cream laid paper, 1879-80. 125x200 mm; 5x7 7/8 inches. Second state (of 3), with the reflections from the boats and gondola still showing. Edition of approximately 30. Signed with the butterfly and inscribed "imp" in pencil on the tab lower left. From Twenty-Six Etchings. A superb impression with selective wiping.
This impression shows the inking effects charateristic of many of Whistler's Venice etchings, with the semi-cicular wiping patterns at the bottom and sides of the image and the center of the composition with less inking and greater highlights. Kennedy 216.
