Description: Landscape with HorsesEtching with drypoint1859 A rare early print by Whistler--one of the few landscapes that the artist produced. Glasgow records 32 known impressions. State II of II, with the second horse, heavy clouds, and drypoint additions. Printed on fibrous japan wove paper, perhaps similar to the impression in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Scattered spots of foxing. Pencil annotations, including the number 3 in upper right corner. Tape residue on reverse. Lochnan (1984) writes of this etching: "there is a tendency to flatten the image and to experiment with a deliberate naïveté unprecedented in Whistler's earlier work ... influenced by his close association with Legros and his admiration for Courbet's Realism ... Landscape with the Horse [sic] is realist in both style and subject ... Men putting up telegraph poles inject a jarring modern note into the rural landscape. ... Whistler's objectivity toward technological encroachments on the countryside would have held greater significance for the realists than nostalgic views of unchanged rural areas."
