Detailed Description
References: Way 88, Levy 126, Stratis & Tedeschi 124Edition: 3000 copies published in the Studio.
Condition: In good condition
Note: The print is a view of the Govier family’s blacksmith shop in Lyme Regis, Dorset, seen from the courtyard. One of the Grovier brothers and a young apprentice pause from shoeing horses to gaze out at the artist. With a few concise lines Whistler suggests a rustic character for the yard, framed on the left by a large rain barrel and the right by a grinding wheel. It seems to have been one of Whistler;s favourite lithographs for he included it in the exhibition at the Fine Art Society that opened in 1895.
