Bust to the left.Hooded Male Head (from Sketches on The Coast Survey Plate). Artist: James McNeill Whistler (American, Lowell, Massachusetts 1834-1903 London). Dimensions: Sheet: 1 1/4 × 1 3/16 in. (3.1 × 3 cm) (fragment cut from the upper portion of "Sketches on the Coast Survey Plate"). Date: 1854-55.Whistler made his first etching while employed as a draftsman at the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey in Washington, D.C., between 1854 and 1855. A staff member taught him the technique and supplied him with a copper plate, on which he etched topographic renderings of coastlines, then sketched freely drawing figures. This fragment represents a Spanish hidalgo, or minor nobleman, and likely was intended as a self-portrait. It was trimmed from a printed proof and given to Thomas Winans who financed Whistler's move to Paris, allowing him to pursue an artistic career. Winans mounted the fragment in an album of Whistler's early work that his descendants gave to the Museum.
