James Abbott McNeill Whistler
Landscape with Horse, 1859
Inventory # 51910
| Original etching on laid Japan paper. Signed and dated in the plate, "Whistler 1859" lower left. The second state of two, according to Kennedy. A dark, rich impression in excellent condition with complete margins. Dr. van Houten has been committed to collecting not only very fine impressions of many unusual subjects as well as more familiar images which illustrate the breadth of Whistler's printmaking skills, but also to collecting with a scholarly approach of obtaining impressions which carry with them the wonderful and varied history of many important Whistler collections. "Landscape with Horse" is one of the few Whistler etchings to portray the countryside as its subject. |
