Seller's Description
Original 1893 9 1/2 inch x 10 inch Tinted Engraving titled CAPRICE IN PURPLE AND GOLD “THE GOLD SCREEN”
In the mid-1860s Whistler undertook a series of works in which recognizably English models in exotic costumes are depicted as Japanese courtesans surrounded by objects from the artist’s personal collection of Asian art. Here, he presents the Irish model Joanna Hiffernan in the guise of a Japanese courtesan, contemplating a print from Utagawa Hiroshige’s Views of the Sixty-odd Provinces, an iconic series of meisho-e, or images of notable places.
From the painting by James Abbott McNeill Whistler (1834 - 1903). An American painter active during the American Gilded Age and based primarily in the United Kingdom. He eschewed sentimentality and moral allusion in painting and was a leading proponent of the credo "art for art's sake".
