JAMES A. M. WHISTLER The Little Pool.
Etching and drypoint on antique, cream laid paper, 1861. 103x125 mm; 4 1/8x5 inches, 1/2-inch (full ?) margins. MacDonald's ninth state (of 9), before cancellation. Partial Blauw watermark. A brilliant, early impression, with pentimenti from the removed mast and sail lower right showing clearly and with all the details distinct.
The seated figure sketching to the left is likely a self portrait by Whistler. Kennedy 74; Glasgow 79.
