JAMES A. M. WHISTLER
Nude Model, Reclining.

Lithograph on cream laid paper, 1893. 115x214 mm; 4 1/2x8 1/2 inches, full margins. Third state (of 3), with the crescent-shaped spot in the highlighted area on the model's left shoulder removed. Edition of only approximately 25 lifetime impressions (aside from the posthumous edition of approximately 41). Signed with the butterfly in pencil, lower left. Ex-collection Richard Gutekunst (Lugt supplement 2213a, verso). A superb, richly-inked impression of this very scarce lithograph, with all the tonal variations distinct. Way 47; Levy 75; Spink 73.
