J. B. Partridge, Caricature of Whistler as Harmony in Black, No. 10, from unidentified press cutting, GUL PC 3, p. 116

Whistler was caricatured in the pose and dress of Harmony in Black, No. 10 [YMSM 357] by 'JBP', that is, J. Bernard Partridge (1861-1945), in 1886. 1

Harmony in Red: Lamplight, The Hunterian

The pose of the figure in the caricature is similar to that of Beatrice Godwin – later Beatrice Philip (Mrs E. W. Godwin, Mrs J. McN. Whistler) (1857-1896) – in Harmony in Red: Lamplight [YMSM 253], although clearly the colour and cut of the costume was different.
