JAMES A. M. WHISTLER
The Dog on the Kennel.

Etching on cream wove ledger paper, 1858. 71x89 mm; 2 3/4x3 1/2 inches, full margins. MacDonald's second state (of 2), with the shading lines above the dog reduced. A superb, richly-inked impression of this very scarce, early etching, with crisp plate edges.

MacDonald cites 20 known impressions; we have found only 10 impressions at auction in the past 30 years. Kennedy 18; Glasgow 19.
