James Abbott McNeill Whistler was an American artist, active mainly in the United Kingdom, during the American Gilded Age. While his art embodied a subtle delicacy, he was known for his combative personality and rejection of sentimentality and moral allusion in painting. A proponent of the motto "art for art's sake," Whistler's artistic theories influenced the art world as well as the broader culture of his time.

Giclee (jee-clay) is an advanced printmaking process for creating high quality fine art reproductions. The attainable excellence that Giclee printmaking affords makes the reproduction virtually indistinguishable from the original piece. The result is wide acceptance of Giclee by galleries, museums, and private collectors. Gallery wrap is a method of stretching an artist's canvas so that the canvas wraps around the sides and is secured a hidden, wooden frame. This method of stretching and preparing a canvas allows for a frameless presentation of the finished painting.
