Blue and Opal: Herring Fleet

Blue and Opal: Herring Fleet dates from Whistler's painting expedition to St Ives, Cornwall, from January to March 1884. 1

There has been some confusion between the title and history of Blue and Opal: Herring Fleet and Pink and Opal: Harbour [YMSM 272].

Notes:

1: YMSM 1980 [more] (cat. no. 273).
