James McNeill Whistler Prints

10.21 Liverdun, J. A. Whistler, Plate#14

This detailed direct impression [re-strike] c1923, shows Whistler’s simple study of tumble-down old farm buildings, pleasing by the very reason of its objectivity and freedom from all affection. A little girl in the foreground, perhaps Annie is depicted. Signed in the etching, 1863 and offered framed in an ornate gold tone frame with non-ascitic matte board. The print measures approximately (4.7" x 5.1"). $350. ($10.50 shipping/handling/ins.)

10.22 The Axenfeld, J. A. Whistler, Plate #31

This early (c.1922) litho print is from the Kennedy Set. Bohemia is in the plate. Very fine detail, etched with more precision and finish than most of this particular group, Whistler clearly depicts a portrait of master craftsmen; his burins are drawn with great skill. The model could be Rodin, with a striking resemblance to the master, (8.0" x 7.2"), the print has a small tear, mid section not affecting the print, signed in the print 1880. $80.00( $16.50 shipping/handling/ins)***SOLD***

10.26 Bibi Lalouette, by J. A. Whistler, Plate #23

Whistler’s work, accomplished in 1859, of a curly-headed little boy was the son of the proprietor of a restaurant in Paris that was frequented by Whistler and other artists. This delightful off-set print, Second State, c1923 is a fine example of the dry point work. Signed in the print, offered framed in an ornate gold tone, non-ascitic matte; the print measures approximately (5.1" x 7.3"). $160. ($10.50 shipping/handling/ins.) ***SOLD***

10.33 The Finette, J. A. Whistler, Plate #27

In a quote from the Grolier Club Catalogue produced by Mr. E.G. Kennedy in the late 1890's; he wrote that "The Finette is a very subtle achievement and that in the whole of modern art (19^th century) you will not find such a Parisian of the late fifties (1850's) as more truthful or more interesting as this portrait of Whistlers’, striking and the beauty of the lines and tones make it a plate to behold". This description tells it all. The litho print of this etching is one of the finest we have, (5.0" x 7.2"), signed in the print dated 1859. $155.00 ( $16.50 shipping/handling/ins) ***SOLD***

10.37 Henry Newman Davis, “Mr. Mann”, by J. A. Whistler, Plate #30

Whistler first called this intriguing engraving simply “Mr. Mann”. This early 20^th century litho print, reproduced from the original engraving in the British Museum, was later identified as Henry Newman Davis, an acquaintance of Whistler. Signed in the print and dated 1860 it measures approximately (5.0" x 7.5") from the impression marks c1923. $185. ($10.50 shipping / handling / insurance)

10.39 The Forge, by J. A. Whistler, Plate #34

This very detailed re-strike [photogravure steel plate print] is an exceptional example of the young masters dry-point ability. Perhaps inspired by his earlier work in 1861, this effort has all the qualities one would expect of the artist. According to Pennell, this etching was done at Perros Guirec, in Brittany where Whistler was painting in the summer of 1861. The print measures from the impression line approximately (7.25" x 4.75"). $225. ($10.50 shipping / handling / insurance)
