Brun et argent: La Hollande

Titles

Only one title is known:

  • 'Brun et argent: La Hollande'. 1

Whistler altered the titles of his paintings for different shows, and it is possible that this painting was the same as Note in Grey: Holland [YMSM 299], which is also unlocated.

Description

Except that it shows a scene in Holland (canal? windmills?) nothing is known of the subject.

Site

The Netherlands.
