The gallery's North Room, a space in the New Gallery on Regent Street, is the setting here, filled with works by James McNeill Whistler during the London memorial exhibition held after his death in 1903. The show gathered his paintings, prints, and drawings in one place and drew attention to a career that had often been contested in the London press. The picture comes from the Joseph and Elizabeth Robins Pennell collection, assembled by the couple who wrote one of the best-known biographies of the artist, so it reflects the attention his circle gave to recording how his work was shown.
