JAMES A. M. WHISTLER The Two Doorways . Etching and drypoint printed in black on Japan paper, 1879-80. 202x292 mm; 8x11 5/8 inches, full margins. MacDonald's fifth state (of 13), similar to the impression at the Freer Gallery of Art, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C. (formerly in the Francis Seymour Haden collection). Signed with the medium butterfly with shaded wings and inscribed "imp." in pencil, lower left. From Twelve Etchings . A brilliant, early impression with very strong contrasts and with crisp, inky plate edges; likely an impression printed prior to 1881 in Venice or London. MacDonald describes another similar fifth state impression, at the New York Public Library, Samuel Putnam Avery Collection, as a, "Particularly dark and powerful impression, the glossy paper shining with a cool greenish cream light." Kennedy 193; Glasgow 221.
