content: Probably by Yuan Jiang (ca. 1694-1743)

content: Formerly attributed to Ma Yuan 馬遠 (active late 12th-early 13th century)

content: The spurious signature in the lower left corner attributes this painting to the Southern Song master Ma Yuan (late twelfth-early thirteenth century). In fact, on the basis of its composition and landscape details, this painting should be attributed to Yuan Jiang of the eighteenth century. Yuan, a court painter, is known for integrating finely detailed renderings of architecture and figures with monumental landscapes. In this painting, a group of scholar-officials and their servants picnic in a dramatic, atmospheric riverside setting. Their fancifully structured boat waits to ferry them back.

content: Nocturne is a view of Battersea from Lindsey Row. Whistler did not reverse the drawing, so the printed image is backwards, but many contemporary Londoners would have recognized the lighted clock tower of the Morgan Crucible Company, the factory smokestacks, the triangular profile of the slag heap, and the spire of Battersea Church. Whistler used broad washes and the cool tones of the paper to create a powerfully moody print that can hold its own with the painted nocturnes.

content: Whistler lithographs are identified by "C" numbers as described in The Lithographs of James McNeill Whistler (Chicago: The Art Institute of Chicago, 1998). This print is C8, second state of two.

content: From 1920

content: Notes:

content: [1] See Original Whistler List, Lithographs, pg. 2, Freer Gallery of Art and Arthur M. Sackler Gallery Archives. Thomas Way Sr. and his son, Thomas Robert Way, were lithographers who worked closely with Whistler on several of his projects. They helped with the printing of his etchings, as well as the printing of Whistler’s promotional materials. Both Thomas Way Sr. and Thomas Robert Way owned many Whistler works. Thomas Way Sr. acquired several of these works at the time of Whistler’s bankruptcy, and he passed some of them on to his son (see The Correspondence of James McNeill Whistler, 1855-1903, ed. Margaret F. MacDonald, Patricia de Montfort and Nigel Thorp, On-line Edition, People, biographies of Thomas Way and Thomas Robert Way; http://www.whistler.arts.gla.ac.uk/correspondence).

content: Charles Lang Freer acquired many Whistler pieces from the Ways. However, museum records do not always specify whether it was the younger or elder Way who was the source of a particular object. Further, archival sources indicate that the junior Way sometimes acted on behalf of his father: whilst negotiating the sale of his own Whistler works to C.L. Freer, he would concurrently negotiate the sale of some of his father’s Whistler works to Freer. In cases where it is unclear whether it was the junior or senior Way who actually owned a piece acquired by C.L. Freer, the provenance record will simply state that the object was purchased from “Thomas Way Sr. or Thomas Robert Way.”

Sauer has a proprietary hand on the small change next to his glass. This is probably the type of sketch with which the artist answered the question, "Ou mangez-vous?" for he drew to help pay his expenses during the trip. In his letter to Deborah Haden Whistler mentioned "how the first night I made a portrait in pencil...for a plate of soup."

content: Reflecting the wealth and privilege of their high social class, three aristocratic equestrians race through an open forest glade, engaged either in training or sport and clearly enjoying their sleek, well-fed steeds. This is probably a surviving portion of a much larger work. All three horsemen look to the left, where the focus of the original composition used to be. Earlier paintings of the same sort suggest their common origin in the tenth century. Certain stylistic qualities of this work, such as the flat rocks in the foreground rendered in wide strokes of ink, define it as a product of the middle years of the Ming dynasty (1368–1644).

content: Goryeo period

content: This painting, executed in ink, colors, and gold on silk, follows the same Chinese prototype as numerous other surviving examples executed in Korea during the late Goryeo period. The willow branch is held in a small vase to the side of the Bodhisattva. The small figure in a devotional pose may represent an allusion to passage in the Avatamsaka sutra. The details of this painting, from the elegant pose of the deity to the delicate use of color to render elements of the costume are characteristic of Korean Buddhist painting at the peak of its development. Touches of gold highlight the landscapes in a typically decorative manner.

label: Description

content: Scroll, consisting of 11 sheets of poems removed from backs of 4 doors, F1903.138-141, inclusive. Makimono.

label: Label

content: A collaborative work combining fine handmade paper, woodblock-printed designs in gold and silver, and calligraphy, this handscroll was reassembled from sheets that had been pasted in sections on the back of set of sliding paper doors (fusuma). Innovative artistic techniques were developed by the collaboration of a talented group of artists in Kyoto during the early seventeenth century. Sotatsu, a painter of fans and large folding screens, favored a painting technique that used pigments with water to create a pooled effect. These woodblock-printed designs of vines, cranes, and bamboo employ a similar techique. Control of scale, rhythm, and ink tone in Koetsu's calligraphy of Japanese poems provides a dynamic counterpoint to the underlying design.

content: The Sea and Sand is one of the simplest and most abstract of the St. Ives paintings. Whistler began by covering his panel with an unusual dark blue ground. Probably working from the top of the panel down, he used broad horizontal strokes of gray to establish the sky. In the foreground, broader horizontal bands of a browner pigment establish the beach. A few narrow strokes of a slightly bluish white create the frothing caps of the breaking waves. The three main horizontal bands are secured by a few shorter verticals that indicate people and by the squat oval of Whistler's famous butterfly monogram.

content: Colonel Henry Bathurst Hanna (1839-1914) was an officer in the British military and a collector of Indian paintings. Born in Petersfield, Hampshire, England, Hanna’s family later moved to London, where he was baptized in 1851. Beginning in 1857, Hanna served as a commissioned officer in the Indian Army and retired with the rank of Colonel in 1889. After his retirement, he resided in London and Petersfield with his younger sisters. According to Hanna, he began collecting Indian paintings around the time of the Indian Rebellion (1857-1859).

content: Formerly attributed to Wang Zhenpeng (傳)王振鵬 (ca. 1280-1329)

content: Wearing leaf jackets and grass girdles, Daoist immortals participate in various activities in this mountain paradise (dongtian) whose entrance is hidden behind coiling pines. Some admire a painting of taiji (the diagram of cosmological scheme), others play weiqi (Chinese chess), and still others enjoy a hearty feast of wine, magical peaches, and fungus. Painted in the style of famed Ming artist Qiu Ying (circa 1494–1552), this seventeenth-century handscroll brings to mind the many yaji (elegant gathering) paintings in which scholars are depicted practicing calligraphy, painting, chess, and music.
