The Little Forge, Lyme Regis

Provenance

  • 1903: in Whistler's studio at his death, and bequeathed to Whistler's ward and executrix, Rosalind Birnie Philip (1873-1958);
  • 1935: given by Miss R. Birnie Philip to the University of Glasgow in 1935.

Exhibitions

  • 1905: Œuvres de James McNeill Whistler, Palais de l'Ecole des Beaux-Arts, Paris, 1905 (cat. no. 82) as 'The Little Forge: Lyme Regis'.

It was not, as far as is known, exhibited in Whistler's lifetime. It was first shown at the Whistler Memorial Exhibition in Paris in 1905.

Due to the terms of Miss R. Birnie Philip's gift to the University of Glasgow, it is not lendable.
