Etching: PE75_01 (plate)
The copper plate bears the maker's stamp, 'RUE MAZARINE 35 / E. GEORGES / A PARIS'. Only one other plate is known to have come from this maker, A young woman with a fan [376].
It is not the same size as the other known Mazarine plate. It is close in size to several other plates including Nut Shop, St James's Place, Houndsditch [356], The Visitors' Boat [303], Château de Verneuil, Touraine [408], Greengrocer's Shop, Paris [471], Little Terrace, Luxembourg Gardens [443].
The plate of A man standing, facing front was in Whistler's studio at his death in 1903, and was given by Rosalind Birnie Philip (1873-1958) to the University of Glasgow in 1935. The ground was partly removed but the plate was not obviously cancelled, though it is unfinished.
