One of James McNeill Whistler’s great patrons was British shipping magnate and art collector, Frederick Leyland (1832-1892) whose wife and four children were the subjects of numerous drawings, prints, and painted portraits by the artist. Much of what is known of Whistler’s relationship with this family is through letters from his mother, who not infrequently tried her best to smoothe over disagreements between her dilatory son and the impatient Leyland.
Whistler’s regular visits to Speke Hall (the Leyland family’s estate near Liverpool, England) brought him into frequent contact with the children, who posed for him many times. Look for the phrase “I am Flo” to the right of the figure of Florence, the youngest, who is holding a hoop – perhaps an inside joke, a reference to the fact that there were three Leyland daughters who may have been regularly confused with each other!
