Pierrot en Pied, Portrait of the Lady A. C.

Theodore Roussel

Date: 1888
Medium: Etching in brown with plate tone on cream laid paper
Culture: England
Department: Prints and Drawings
Institution: Art Institute of Chicago

Around 1882 the society figure Lady Archibald Campbell commissioned Whistler to paint her portrait, and in 1884 he made an oil sketch of her performing outdoors in the role of Orlando in Shakespeare’s As You Like It . Several years later, Roussel portrayed her in costume for her role in Banville’s Le baiser . Unlike The Pastoral Play , which he sketched during the performance, this print, another print and a related pastel must have been created during one or more formal sittings.
