Detail from The Canal, Amsterdam, 1889, James McNeill Whistler, The Hunterian, University of Glasgow

 

Street scene

Street scene may date from around 1890, but could date from as late as 1901. The technique and butterfly are consistent with a late date. However, if, as has been suggested, it was owned by Joshua Hutchinson Hutchinson (b. ca 1829-d.1891) , it would necessarily date from before 1891.

It is catalogued in MacDonald 1995 (cat. rais.) [more] (cat. no. 1589), where it was dated '1899/1900'; this is incorrect if, has been suggested, it was owned by Joshua Hutchinson Hutchinson (b. ca 1829-d.1891) , who died in 1891. The entry has therefore been corrected.
