Titre: PIERROT
Légende: Voir la traduction automatique
Pierrot. Artist: James McNeill Whistler (American, Lowell, Massachusetts 1834-1903 London). Dimensions: Plate: 9 1/8 × 6 1/4 in. (23.1 × 15.9 cm) Sheet: 9 1/8 × 6 1/4 in. (23.1 × 15.9 cm). Date: 1889. In an old district of Amsterdam, Whistler represents two figures emerging from a shadowed workshop at the edge of a canal. Leaning against a slender post, a young man clad in an apron looks across the water as his female companion dips a cloth into it. The still, dark, reflective surface fills the foreground and doubles the forms, and the title, Pierrot, evokes a tragicomic commedia dell'arte character suggested by the pallor of the man's face. The print belongs to a set the artist made in Amsterdam during a two-month stay in early fall 1889, following his summer marriage to Beatrice Philip, the widow of architect Edward William Godwin.
