Princess from the Land of Porcelain ☲ Whistler ☱ Canvas

Rose and Silver: The Princess from the Land of Porcelain (1864) by James McNeill Whistler depicts a European woman wearing a kimono in a Western manner, holding a fan, standing amidst numerous Asian art objects, including a rug, Japanese folding screen and a large decorative porcelain vase. There are influences of Japanese woodblock maker Kitagawa Utamaro in the painting, as well as 18th-century French chinoiserie. When the portrait was completed, the model's father refused to purchase it, and Whistler's large signature scared away another would-be buyer. This may have led Whistler to develop his later butterfly-style signature. The painting would eventually find a home in a dining room filled with Kangxi ceramics with matching decor chosen by Whistler himself, known as The Peacock Room.

⿴ About Stretched Canvas

Stretched canvas art is created from a giclée print on canvas (instead of paper), and like a traditional painting, the canvas is hand-stretched over a solid wood frame. It can be mounted in a float frame, or displayed on its own. The sides of the canvas are finished in a solid color that complements the artwork, creating a modern masterpiece ready to hang on your wall, without a frame.

⿻ Materials

Giclée printed with eco-solvent inks to resist fading for over 100 years

Canvases are archival-grade, acid-free, satin-finish polycotton fabric

Frames and stretcher bars are solid wood with black backboard and hanging wire installed
