[49] The Duet, 1894 Lithograph, signed in pencil with a butterfly, lower left edge of sheet, printed in black ink on old laid paper, one of 39 impressions printed by Thomas Way; a further 12 were printed posthumously by Frederick Goulding in 1904; in the only state 9 1/2 x 6 1/2 inches (24.6 x 16.5 cm) sheet 11 x 7 7/8 inches (28 x 19.6 cm) Provenance: Rosalind Birnie Philip (her stamp on the verso; Lugt 406) Reference: Way 64; Chicago 104 The Duet is a casual, intimate scene showing Beatrice Whistler and her sister Ethel Whibley playing a four-hand piano piece in the Whistlers’ comfortably appointed Paris home at 110 rue du Bac. It is based on a rather sketchy drawing and lithograph of the same subject made a few weeks earlier (Chicago 96). This print, a much more elaborate version of the scene, is one of Whistler’s most successful lithographs. Rosalind Birnie Philip was Whistler’s sister-in-law and the executrix of his will. She used two stamps on the lithographs in her collection, both designed by Whistler himself: Lugt 406, showing the initials RBP in a square, indicated a lifetime impression; Lugt 405, showing the initials in a circle, denoted a posthumous impression.
