JAMES A. M. WHISTLER Little Arthur.
Etching on cream laid paper, 1857-58. 57x48 mm; 2 1/4x1<7/8> inches, full margins. Fifth state (of 5). From Twelve Etchings from Nature. A very good impression.
This etching shows Arthur Haden, Whistler's nephew, the son of his half-sister Deborah and Francis Seymour Haden. It was likely made during the summer of 1857 while Whistler was staying with the Haden's in London, though it was published over a year later in November 1858 as one of the 12 etchings of the "French Set." This portrait and the etching of Annie (Kennedy 10) are the only non-French subjects in the set. Kennedy 9.
