TECHNIQUE

Drypoint, boldly drawn, with wide spaces between groups of figures, and broken lines vividly describing the figures themselves.

PRINTING

There are only four known impressions of this drypoint. They are on different papers, as though Whistler wished to test the effect and decide on the best one for his purposes. One is on tan wove paper (Graphic with a link to impression #K0800103), one on Japanese paper (Graphic with a link to impression #K0800101) and one on ivory laid paper with a 'HODELIST' watermark (Graphic with a link to impression #K0800102).
