“Arrangement in Pink, Red and Purple” is a portrait by the artist James McNeill Whistler, created between 1883 and 1884. This artwork, rendered in oil on board, is a notable piece within the Impressionism movement and measures 30.5 by 22.8 centimeters.
In this artwork, the subject is depicted standing against a richly textured backdrop, characterized by vibrant hues of pink, red, and purple. The figure is dressed in a flowing white gown with details accentuated in red, providing a striking contrast to the darker and more intense colors behind her. The artist employs loose, expressive brushstrokes that capture the impression of light and texture, a hallmark of the Impressionist style. The delicate interplay of colors and the artist’s deft handling of the medium combine to create a composition that is both dynamic and harmonious.
