Not on view

Whistler travelled down the Thames to find subject this subject of a shaded lawn at Greenwich, visiting the park with his etcher brother-in-law Seymour Haden. Both created prints that show a naval pensioner from the nearby Royal Hospital for Seamen relaxing on the grass (Whister's titled "Greenwich Pensioner" (17.3.27) and Haden's "Sub Tegmine" (Under the Canopy; 17.3.276). The Met has two other impressions of "Greenwich Park" (83.1.22, 17.3.28).
