content: In Whistler's day, genteel people who could afford to purchase etchings generally avoided unnecessary trips to working-class sections of cities. For such people, Whistler's etchings of the Thames riverfront provided unusually intimate glimpses of what a contemporary critic described as "that class of hard-fisted, square-shouldered, solid-faced men, on whom the odour of tar and tobacco is equally important."

content: Quotation from the Reader, April 4, 1863, in Whistler press-cutting book 1:37, Birnie Philip Collection, Glasgow University Library.

content: Whistler etchings are identified by "K" numbers as assigned in Edward Kennedy's catalogue, The Etched Work of Whistler, (New York: Grolier Club, 1910; and subsequent editions). This print is K45; first and only state.

content: Whistler etchings are identified by "G" numbers as assigned in "James McNeill Whistler: The Etchings, a catalogue raisonné," by Margaret F. McDonald, Grischka Petri, Meg Hausberg, and Joanna Meacock (University of Glasgow, 2012), http://etchings.arts.gla.ac.uk. This print is G52 state 3 of 4.

content: 18th century

content: Qing dynasty

content: Formerly attributed to Zhou Wenju (傳)周文矩 (active mid-10th century)

content: Depicting a scene of women, children and servants (total of fifteen figures) engaged in various activities, including playing weiqi and playing musical instruments, both inside and outside a pavilion overlooking a lotus pond with a pair of mandarin ducks. In the middle there is one figure on each side of a fence covered with a flowering vine. To the left stand a woman and a servant (who holds a zither) in a pavilion containing a table with scholarly implements and a ding, and with a painting on a screen.

content: Signature at lower left; total of 27 seals (17 on painting), four inscriptions (poems) on painting, five colophons, no labels. Unused frontispiece with cloud motif. Ivory pin.

label: Label

content: This handscroll is attributed to the celebrated painter Zhou Wenju, who served at the court of the Southern Tang kingdom (937-975). Zhou was most highly regarded for his depictions of elegant palace women as they attended their everyday duties. Here, a group of ladies, children, and servants have gathered at a pavilion built over a lotus pond in a residential quarter of the palace grounds. Some of them while away the time with a game of weiqi (better known in the West by its Japanese name, go), which was traditionally considered one of the polite arts. Two other ladies with fishing rods stand by the pond, one of them beckoning a servant to bait her hook.

content: While this painting bears a general thematic relationship to the tradition associated with Zhou Wenju, the overall composition, use of color, and stylistic execution are much closer to the approach popularized by the Ming dynasty painter, Qiu Ying (ca. 1494-1552), and may have been executed by an eighteenth-century follower after one of his designs.

content: Freer Gallery of Art, gift of Charles Lang Freer in 1920 [6]

content: Notes:

content: [1] These panels were removed from a staircase in Frederick Richard Leyland's house, 49 Prince's Gate, London (see Curatorial Remark 2 in the object record). When Frederick Richard Leyland died in 1892, 49 Prince's Gate - and its contents - was offered for sale.

content: Leyland's porcelains and other treasures were sold. The house - which still contained these stair panels, as well as the famous Peacock Room - did not bring a high enough offer and it was withdrawn from sale. It was finally purchased in 1894 by Mrs. James (Blanche) Watney. Upon discovering that the Peacock Room could be taken apart and reassembled, Mrs. Watney decided to sell the room. In 1903, Mrs. Watney engaged Messrs. Brown and Phillips of the Leicester Galleries in Leicester Square as agents. Unable to purchase, dismantle, and reassemble the room on their own, Ernest Brown, one of principals, enlisted the cooperation of Obach & Co., a larger gallery on New Bond Street. In 1904, Charles Lang Freer purchased the Peacock Room from Obach & Co., and soon thereafter purchased these stair panels (see Curatorial Remark 5, David Park Curry, 1984, in the object record). See also, F1904.61, Curatorial Remarks and Provenance, for more information.

content: [2] See note 1.

content: [3] See note 1.

content: [4] See note 1. Also, the exact nature of the transactions between Mrs. Watney, Messrs. Brown and Phillips of the Leicester Galleries, and Obach & Co. is somewhat unclear. Messrs. Brown and Phillips appear to have acted simply as agents for Mrs. Watney, facilitating the sale of architectural fragments of 49 Prince's Gate, from Mrs. Watney to Obach & Co.

content: Obach & Co. appear to have been full owners of these pieces, having purchased them from Mrs. Watney before selling them to Freer.

content: [5] See notes 1 and 4.

content: [6] The original deed of Charles Lang Freer's gift was signed in 1906. The collection was received in 1920 upon the completion of the Freer Gallery.

content: Muromachi period

content: The teachings and imagery of Zen Buddhism had a profound impact on Japanese religious beliefs and practice during the Kamakura and Muromachi periods. In this painting, the deified Japanese scholar and government official Sugawara no Michizane (845-903), known posthumously as Tenjin (heavenly deity), is represented walking beside an ox. The image alludes to the Zen Buddhist allegory of an ox and herdsman who illustrate the process of seeking and attaining enlightenment. Michizane was a court official whose unjust death in exile led to widespread worship of him to assuage his angry spirit. Elements of both Shinto and Buddhist belief coexisted in Tenjin worship. In his Zen Buddhist association, the literary accomplishments of Michizane as a poet in the Chinese language were praised; a fourteenth-century legend maintained that Tenjin had miraculously crossed the sea to China to study Zen Buddhism, and there had been taught by a Chinese master and presented with a Buddhist robe. Here he is dressed in a white Japanese court garment, holding a branch of blossoming plum, an emblem of his literary accomplishments.

content: The work exhibits an unusual combination of painting styles, suggesting that a painter trained in the meticulous style prevalent at the imperial court had also seen and copied new styles of ink painting that came from China to Zen Buddhist monasteries. The rendering of the ox in ink washes reflects knowledge of this Chinese style, while the figure is rendered with the precision and technical finesse of traditional Japanese court painting.

content: Among the most widely distributed of all Whistler’s Thames etchings, Billingsgate was initially begun in 1859. As his shop-front project gathered energy, he published this print three times between 1878 and 1882. Docked fishing boats nearly obscure the distinctive stone arches of new London Bridge, symbol of the “honourable British merchant” completed in 1831. By the time Whistler published his print, the fish market and its clock tower, visible at left, had already been torn down and replaced by an even larger building.

content: [1] See “Catalogue of Indo-Persian Pictures and Manuscripts, Principally of the Fifteenth, Sixteenth, and Seventeenth Centuries by Native Artists, Collected by H. B. Hanna” [book], (London: Dowdeswell and Dowdeswells, 1890).

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). See letter from Henry Bathurst Hanna to Charles Lang Freer, dated April 10, 1908 [sic, 1907], p. 3, Box 17, Folder No. 10, Charles Lang Freer Papers, National Museum of Asian Art Archives, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C.
