Old Clothes Shop, Houndsditch

Provenance

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

Exhibitions

It was not exhibited in Whistler's lifetime. In fact it was not shown in public at all before it reached Glasgow in 1935.

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