About the Item

Etching in black ink on laid paper Printer: Delâtre, Paris La Vieille Aux Loques represents an elderly woman seated and wrapped in worn clothing, drawn from life and rendered through linear etching. The work was issued in 1858 as part of Whistler’s series Twelve Etchings from Nature. James Abbott McNeill Whistler was an American-born artist active primarily in London and Paris and is a central figure in nineteenth-century etching. His early works demonstrate his commitment to working directly from observation and his role in reestablishing etching as an independent artistic medium. This etching belongs to Whistler’s formative period, when he focused on everyday subjects drawn from urban life.
