EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Fosco, 1872" showcases the artistic brilliance of James Abbott McNeill Whistler. Created using the drypoint technique on paper, this masterpiece measures 20.7x13.1 cm and is housed in the prestigious Freer Gallery of Art at the Smithsonian Institution in the United States. The subject of this portrait is a young male named Fosco, who stands confidently before us. Whistler's attention to detail is evident as he skillfully captures every nuance of Fosco's figure, from his strong stance to his youthful features. The artist has chosen to depict him without any clothing or adornments, emphasizing his natural state of being. Intriguingly, Fosco holds a stick in one hand, perhaps symbolizing strength or resilience. This simple prop adds depth and intrigue to an otherwise straightforward composition. Whistler's mastery shines through in this engraving; each line etched onto the paper conveys a sense of movement and vitality that brings Fosco to life before our eyes. The play between light and shadow further enhances the three-dimensional quality of this artwork. As we gaze upon "Fosco" we are transported back to 19th-century America when Whistler was at the height of his career. This print serves as a testament not only to his technical prowess but also to his ability to capture human emotion with such finesse. Gifted by Charles Lang Freer himself
