Weary, 1863, Drypoint; fourth state of six (Glasgow); printed in black ink on tan Japan, Plate: 8 3/16 x 5 1/4 in. (20.8 x 13.3 cm), Prints, James McNeill Whistler (American, Lowell, Massachusetts 1834–1903 London), Whistler’s confidence as an etcher is seen at its fullest in this portrait of Jo Hiffernan, his companion in the 1860s. The artist was deeply influenced by Rembrandt, and it is probably due to this that he felt comfortable leaving the lower half of the sheet with only the barest of drawn outlines
