Maud Franklin

Maud Franklin probably dates from between 1875 and 1877. 1

This date is suggested by the appearance of the model, Maud Franklin (1857-1939), who may only have started posing for Whistler in 1873/1874 when she was 16 or 17. In this portrait she looks several years older.

Notes:

1: Dated 'about 1872/1873' in YMSM 1980 [more] (cat. no. 132).
