Annie. Artist: James McNeill Whistler (American, Lowell, Massachusetts 1834-1903 London). Dimensions: Plate: 4 5/8 × 3 1/8 in. (11.8 × 7.9 cm)Sheet: 5 11/16 x 4 3/16 in. (14.5 x 10.7 cm). Series/Portfolio: French Set ("Douze eau-fortes d'apres Nature" 1858). Date: 1857-58.During a stay in London with his sister Deborah Delano Haden while recuperating from a fall, Whistler made this etching of his niece Annie. His brother-in-law, Seymour Haden, a gifted printmaker, encouraged the artist's first serious efforts in the medium. Here, the emphasis on alternating lights and darks, and the omission of the figure's legs, demonstrate a greater interest in abstract patterning than portraiture. Whistler gave this print to Thomas Winans, the Baltimore friend who funded his move to Paris in 1855. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.
