Description

Both full and “butterfly” signatures

Pioneering and influential American-born artist (1834–1903), best known for his distinctively evocative portraits, city- and landscapes, and the “Arrangement in Gray and Black,” aka “Whistler’s Mother.” Choice ink signature and inscription, “Dear Miss O’Malley, With great pleasure, J. McNeil Whistler,” on an off-white 6.25 x 4 sheet. He adds his well-known “butterfly” signature, making for an unusual combination! The slightest hint of light handling wear, otherwise fine, clean condition. R&R COA.
