Flesh Colour and Silver: The Card Players, The Hunterian

M. Dornac, Whistler at 86 rue Notre Dame des Champs, photograph, 1890s, Freer Gallery of Art

It is dated from the technique, as well as Whistler's known employment of the models, Gladys Winifred Carrington (1889-1940) and Eva Victoria Carrington (1887-1979) , and the style of the sofa, which appears in other pictures and photographs (including Dornac's photograph of Whistler's studio in Paris, reproduced above).
