A portrait of Ethel Whibley by James McNeill Whistler, rendered in muted tones and loose brushwork. The painting captures the sitter in a moment of quiet repose, seated in a chair against a dark background.
James McNeill Whistler, an American artist active primarily in Britain, painted 'Rose and Silver: Portrait of Mrs Whibley'. The sitter, Ethel Whibley (née Birnie Philip), was Whistler's sister-in-law and acted as his secretary and housekeeper after his wife's death. This portrait is one of several he painted of her. The painting depicts Mrs Whibley in profile, seated in a chair. She wears a light-coloured dress with a dark, fur-like stole and a wide-brimmed hat. Her hands rest on the back of the chair. The background is a dark, indistinct space, with only a few hints of colour. The palette is restrained, dominated by muted pinks, greys, and blacks. Whistler's characteristic tonalist approach is evident in the subtle gradations of colour and the emphasis on atmospheric effects. The brushwork is loose and suggestive, creating a sense of immediacy and intimacy. The composition is simple, focusing attention on the figure and her elegant pose.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
