Description
Caption from the museum
This portrait was probably painted in 1933 when Whistler was 28 years old. He stands confidently against a romantic landscape under dark, looming clouds, with one of the twin Boycott Pavilions of Stowe rising up behind him in the distance. Allusions to the eighteenth century gardens at Stowe in Buckinghamshire had also been made in the mural Whistler had been commissioned to paint onto the walls of the Tate Restaurant (1928). The subject depicted was 'The Pursuit of Rare Meats,' a story which he had devised in collaboration with Edith Olivier (1872-1948) whom he had met in 1925. A successful novelist, Olivier lived at Daye House in Wilton Park. Whistler painted a number of striking portraits of Olivier and the Cecil family, whom he had met through her. Olivier bought this painting at the private view of an exhibition at the French Gallery in 1933.

Licensing

This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

The author died in 1944, so this work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 80 years or fewer.

You must also include a United States public domain tag to indicate why this work is in the public domain in the United States.
 Note that a few countries have copyright terms longer than 80 years: Mexico has 100 years and Jamaica has 95 years. This image may not be in the public domain in these countries, which moreover do not implement the rule of the shorter term.
This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.
The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.
Copyrighted in the U.S. This work may not be in the public domain in the United States because its U.S. copyright was restored by the URAA as it was still copyrighted in its source country (United Kingdom) on the URAA date (1 January 1996). In most cases, it is copyrighted in the U.S. until 95 years after the year in which it was initially published (exceptions are works published after 1977; see Commons:Hirtle chart).
