Provenance
- Date unknown: possibly owned by Thomas Robert Way (1861-1913) , London. 1
- Date unknown: possibly in a collection in Chicago, Illinois.
- Before 1991: acquired by the Art Institute of Chicago.
There is a photograph of the drawing in the collection of Albert Eugene Gallatin (1882-1952) (New York Public Library, Print Collection, G.189 Bis.B) but no indication of the owner. An undated photograph by Frederick O. Benn, Chicago, possibly for a private collector, or for the Art Institute of Chicago, is in the Library of Congress.
The provenance of this drawing has been partly lost and possibly confused with that of r.: Self-portrait; v.: standing woman [M.0463]. 2
Exhibitions
It was not, as far as is known, exhibited in Whistler's lifetime.
Notes:
1: Inscription on photograph, 'formerly owned by T. R. Way', E. R. and J. Pennell Collection, Library of Congress, Box 32.The drawing has now been mounted and this inscription is inaccessible, according to Stephanie L. Strother, 'Cat. 13 Self-Portrait: Curatorial Entry,' in Whistler Paintings and Drawings at the Art Institute of Chicago, op. cit.
2: It could possibly have been the drawing sold at auction, Christie's, London, 9 July 1906 (lot 40) as 'A Portrait of the Artist' (11 x 7") and bought by Obach, London dealers but that is more likely to have been r.: Self-portrait; v.: standing woman [M.0463]).
