“Lady in Gray” is an artwork by James McNeill Whistler, completed in 1883. The piece, created using gouache and watercolor on paper, belongs to the Impressionism art movement. It is a portrait measuring 12.8 by 28.5 centimeters.
The artwork portrays a solitary, elegantly dressed woman in gray, who stands against a dark, ambiguous background. Her austere, elongated figure is complemented by the delicate detailing of her attire and the subtle interplay of light and shadow. The woman’s expression is contemplative, her posture poised, conveying a sense of quiet dignity and introspection. Whistler’s adept use of muted tones and minimalist composition imbues the scene with a tranquil, almost enigmatic atmosphere, characteristic of his Impressionist sensibilities.
