EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured photogravure print showcases the iconic "Portrait of Thomas Carlyle" by James Abbott McNeill Whistler. Created around 1880, this stunning piece measures 171.1x143.5 cm and is part of a private collection. Thomas Carlyle, a Scottish historian, writer, and essayist, is beautifully captured in this portrait. The image depicts him seated with an air of wisdom and contemplation, wearing his signature hat and sporting a distinguished beard. His profile exudes intelligence and depth, reflecting his status as one of the most influential literary figures of his time. The print bears the blind stamp LXZ from the printer's workshop and includes inscriptions outside the plate that indicate it was produced as an edition d'art by H Piazza et Cie in Paris under R Dunthorne's supervision in London. Whistler based this portrait on his earlier painting titled "Arrangement in Grey and Black No. 2: Portrait of Thomas Carlyle" completed between 1872-3. This photogravure captures every intricate detail while adding vibrant hand-colouring to enhance its visual impact. Displayed against a white wove paper background, this print radiates elegance and sophistication. It serves as both a homage to Carlyle's literary contributions and as an exquisite example of Whistler's artistic talent. Whether you are an admirer of historical figures or appreciate fine artistry at its finest, this remarkable print will undoubtedly make a striking
