Impressions taken from this plate (8) |
The copper plate has no maker's mark and is a different size from any other plate. It was probably made for Whistler in Venice. 8
8: Getscher 1970.
It was in Whistler's studio at his death and was bequeathed to Rosalind Birnie Philip (1873-1958), who gave it to the University of Glasgow in 1935. It was cancelled posthumously with one diagonal line across the lower left corner.
