Seascape

Seascape has been dated between 1890 and 1895. 1

The butterfly signature suggested this date though the technique and colour is rather unusual. It may have been painted in Brittany in 1893. It does not, however, fit convincingly into Whistler's oeuvre at that time.

Notes:

1: YMSM 1980 [more] (cat. no. 414).
