James Abbott McNeill Whistler Abstract Prints
American, 1834-1903
James Abbott McNeill Whistler was an American artist active during the American Gilded Age and based primarily in the United Kingdom. Whistler was born on July 11, 1834, in Lowell. During his formative years in Paris in the 1850s, Whistler was influenced by the injunctions of the poet and theorist Charles Baudelaire that artists should take subjects from modern life and seek a new beauty in the teeming cities. Whistler's first major suite of prints, his French Set brought critical acclaim but disappointing sales. Seeking more generous patrons, he moved to London in 1859. Initially, under the influence of his brother-in-law Francis Seymour Haden, a pioneer of the etching revival, he began a series of superbly observed and finely detailed views of the River Thames with its shipping, thriving wharves and picturesque characters. In his Thames Set etchings, Whistler often introduced the figures of workmen, boatmen or loungers in the foregrounds. Whistler died on July 17, 1903, in London.

The Traghetto, No. 2
By James Abbott McNeill Whistler

A superb, early impression of this very scarce etching etching and drypoint on antique cream laid paper, with selective wiping and warm plate tone. Sixth or seventh state (of 9), or an intermediate state between the sixth and seventh states, with the carafe and the glass on the table very faintly visible and with the light, curved scratch through the base of the lowest tree trunk. MacDonald cites approximately 60 known impressions in all nine states. Signed with the butterfly and inscribed "imp" in pencil on the tab, lower left. From "Twelve Etchings."
