Exquisite prints (I think, not sure) from one so young. Fascinating to learn about the connection with Baudelaire. I will never again be able to afford travel abroad, but this takes me there in dreams.

It takes one to know one. As I studied the roguish longshoremen here, I recalled a notable self-portrait by Whistler. A cocked hat, arched eyebrow, sly eyes, an all-knowing glance at the viewer. I imagine Whistler striding into the midst of these worldly rough men, making sure he had their full individed attention, dragging a chair into place and pulling out a large sketch pad.
Whistler inhabited many worlds, and his output reflected his chameleon-like abilities. His sensual paintings of young fresh-faced women wrapped in silk kimonos, languishing on divans, are some of my favorites — yet these etchings of the rough sea men have caught my eye. He was Master of Everything!

Thanks for shining a light.

These are wonderful. I love knowing that he rowed around on the Thames, sketching – my dream! Thank you for sharing. As ever you enrich the start to our days. Matilda x
