TECHNIQUE

Little Terrace, Luxembourg Gardens is an etching, with no drypoint.

PRINTING

It is very rare. Two impressions were printed in black ink on cream Japanese paper (Graphic with a link to impression #K4250102, Graphic with a link to impression #K4250106), and one, which was kept by Whistler, in black on ivory laid paper (Graphic with a link to impression #K4250105). All were trimmed to the platemark and signed on a tab with the butterfly and 'imp.' to show that Whistler had printed them.
