Way 54, Levy 85, Tedeschi, Stratis and Spink 90. Printed on antique ivory laid paper. In Tête-à-Tête in the Garden, Whistler moves away from the precision of the etched line to the soft, tonal possibilities of the lithographic stone. Capturing his family in the garden of his Paris home at 110, rue du Bac, Whistler utilizes the ivory tones of the paper to suggest a sun-drenched afternoon. This rare lifetime impression—one of only twenty-five—demonstrates the artist's unique ability to transform a fleeting domestic moment into a permanent study of light and atmosphere.
