专家说明

Margaret MacDonald writes of the present work, "The women bending in the breeze, with rippling draperies, resemble figures in the 'Six Projects' of 1867-8 and in particular Symphony in Blue and Pink (Freer Gallery, [Washington, D.C.]). The drawing may have been a study for the oil, in which the figures are closer together and the colours darker...Charles Hazlewood Shannon (1863-1937), the first owner, and Charles Ricketts (1866-1931) are best-known for their cover designs and illustrations for Oscar Wilde. Effete and mannered as both artist and person, Shannon was called the 'Orchid' by Wilde." (James McNeill Whistler: Drawings, Pastels and Watercolors, A Catalogue Raisonné, New Haven, Connecticut, 1995, p. 135-36)
