JAMES A. M. WHISTLER
The Priest's House, Rouen.

Lithograph on Japan paper, 1894-95. 241x160 mm; 9½x6⅜ inches, full margins. First state (of 2). One of approximately only 12 impressions in this state, from a total edition of approximately 27 combined in both states. Signed with the butterfly in pencil, lower center. A very good impression.

This lithograph probably dates from a short trip Whistler (1834-1903) made to Rouen by rail during August 1894. The style of the drawing and the richness of the printing recall his lithographs from Brittany during the summer of 1893. Way 74; Levy 112; Spink 105.
