A horizontally oriented bronze plaque features a low-relief portrait of James McNeill Whistler on the right. He stands with his hand on his hip, looking back over his shoulder. To our left, a butterfly symbol sits above text reading "JAMES McNEILL WHISTLER PAINTER ETCHER AVTHOR." Small lettering in the upper right corner reads "V.D. Brenner." The bronze has a warm, golden color and polished finish.
