Item Details
Description
the awakened woman alarmed by small figures in 18th century costume, original drawing in pen, ink and watercolour, inscribed on verso "Picture painted by Rex J.Whistler. Student at the Sanatorium, Haileybury College, 1921. Given to Sister R.M.Jackson", c.225 x 135mm., framed and glazed, [Not in Whistler & Fuller], 1921. Influenced by Arthur Rackham this delightful drawing of rampaging goblins was given by Whistler to his school nurse, a generous practice he continued throughout his life. Aged only sixteen at the time both his humour and his fascination with the 18th century are already in evidence, as well as his suberb draughtsmanship. Exhibited at Rex Whistler. The Triumph of Fancy , Brighton Museum, 2006.
