Annabel Lee

Titles


                    Annabel Lee, Freer Gallery of Art
Annabel Lee, Freer Gallery of Art

The titles 'Annabel Lee' and 'Niobe' were associated with this pastel, but not in Whistler's lifetime. See Annabel Lee [YMSM 079] and Sketch for 'Annabel Lee' [YMSM 080].

It is possible that Annabel Lee is actually Harmony in Opal and Violet [M.1075], and has nothing to do with the poem Annabel Lee by Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849).
