JAMES A. M. WHISTLER
The Wine-Glass.

Etching printed in black on thin, cream laid Japan paper, 1858. 83x55 mm; 3 1/4x2 1/8 inches, full margins. Second state (of 2). A very good impression of this scarce, early print with all the fine lines printing clearly.

This still-life study, atypical in Whistler's etched oeuvre, was made shortly after his return to London from Paris after the completion of the "French Set." Whistler and Haden worked closely for several months during this time at the latter's house on Sloane Street, where Haden had installed his own etching press. Kennedy 27.
