Greenwich Pensioner 1859 James McNeill Whistler American Whistler studied etching in London under the tutelage of his brother-in-law, Sir Francis Seymour Haden and in 1859 they visited Greenwich Park together, each making a print that depicts a resident of the nearby Royal Hospital for Seamen, a boarding house for ex-sailors. Brisk line work and careful shading depict sunlight flickering across the pensioners shirt, hat, and wrinkled pant legs. Focusing on the figure, Whistler eliminates the surrounding landscape that Haden emphasized in Sub Tegmine (Benath the Canopy, 17.3.276). Printmakers associated with the etching revival sought an expressive spontaneity akin to drawing in their works.. Greenwich Pensioner 372499
