11. James Abbott McNeill Whistler (1834-1903) Regent's Quadrant |

Regent's Quadrant
Etching and drypoint, 1880-81, 161 x 120 mm., Kennedy 239 iv/iv.
Superbly modulated impression on brownish laid paper, trimmed to a thread margin and signed in pencil on the tab with the butterfly, numbered 22 verso. Soon after returning to London from Venice, Whistler began to etch new images of London. These were never collected as a set, though the artist apparently viewed them as a harmonious group. The plates are smaller than those of the Venice sets, frequently dictated by the size of his coat pocket, and the effects of variable plate tone are largely abandoned. Instead, Whistler concentrated on movement and spontaneity, producing exquisite sketches in a style that looked easy enough to copy and was actually, as many artists found out to their chagrin, inimitable. The view here is from a window on Air Street.
