Figures in a Landscape

Technique

It is not known whether this was an oil or watercolour, though it is likely that, like other known works by Whistler done at West Point, it was a watercolour. Accordingly Figures in a landscape [M.0175] was catalogued as a watercolour in 1995.

Loomis Lyman Langdon described it as a collaboration: 'we painted a large picture together; he the figures and I the landscape part.' 1

Conservation History

Unknown.

Frame

Unknown.
