Portrait of M. R. Elden (2)

Portrait of M. R. Elden (2) probably dates from 1882. 1 It is dated from Whistler's known association with Matthew Robinson Elden (1839-1885).

According to the Pennells, it was a small version of the Portrait of H. R. Eldon (1) [YMSM 243] (which has not been located) and was submitted to the London Whistler Memorial Exhibition of 1905, but rejected. 2

Notes:

1: YMSM 1980 [more] (cat. no. 244).
