Painting Description
"The Russian Schube" (way 112; Levy 160; Spink/Stratis/Tedeschi 142) is an etching and drypoint created by the renowned American artist James Abbott McNeill Whistler. Whistler, known for his innovative contributions to the art of etching and his distinctive style, produced this work as part of his celebrated "Venice, Second Set," also known as the "Twenty-Six Etchings" or the "Second Venice Set." This collection was created during Whistler's sojourn in Venice from 1879 to 1880, a period that marked a significant phase in his artistic career.
"The Russian Schube" captures a moment of quiet introspection, featuring a figure draped in a traditional Russian fur coat, known as a "schube." The etching showcases Whistler's masterful use of line and his ability to convey texture and depth through the medium of drypoint. The intricate details of the fur and the subtle play of light and shadow highlight Whistler's technical prowess and his keen observational skills.
Whistler's Venice etchings are celebrated for their atmospheric quality and their departure from the more architectural and topographical focus of earlier works. Instead, they emphasize mood, character, and the interplay of light and shadow, reflecting Whistler's interest in capturing the essence of his subjects rather than merely their physical appearance. "The Russian Schube" exemplifies this approach, offering a glimpse into the artist's ability to blend realism with a sense of mystery and emotion.
The etching is part of several prominent collections and has been the subject of scholarly analysis, particularly in relation to Whistler's broader body of work and his influence on the etching revival of the late 19th century. It stands as a testament to Whistler's enduring legacy and his contribution to the development of modern printmaking.
