Nocturne, 1879–80, Etching and drypoint; sixth state of nine (Glasgow); printed in black ink on heavy cream Japan, Plate: 8 × 11 5/8 in. (20.3 × 29.6 cm), Prints, James McNeill Whistler (American, Lowell, Massachusetts 1834–1903 London), Tone and atmosphere dominate many of Whistler’s Venetian etchings, and tonal wiping here suggests night falling across the Bacino (Basin of Saint Mark’s). We look toward the entrance of the Giudecca Canal at a large sailing ship anchored to the left of San Giorgio Maggiore
