"Arrangement in Black, No. 2: Portrait of Mrs. Louis Huth" is a distinguished painting by the American-born, British-based artist James Abbott McNeill Whistler. Created in 1872, this work exemplifies Whistler's mature style, characterized by his innovative approach to portraiture and his emphasis on tonal harmony. The painting depicts Mrs. Louis Huth, the wife of a prominent art collector and patron, Louis Huth, who was a significant supporter of Whistler's work.

In this portrait, Whistler employs a restrained palette dominated by shades of black, which serves to highlight the sitter's serene and dignified presence. The composition is notable for its simplicity and elegance, with Mrs. Huth seated in a contemplative pose, her hands gently clasped in her lap. The background is minimally detailed, drawing attention to the subject's face and the subtle interplay of light and shadow on her figure. Whistler's use of a limited color scheme and his focus on the arrangement of forms and tones reflect his interest in the aesthetic principles of harmony and balance, which were influenced by his admiration for Japanese art and design.

"Arrangement in Black, No. 2" is part of a series of works in which Whistler explored the concept of "arrangements" and "harmonies," terms he used to describe his paintings in musical terms, emphasizing the importance of composition and tonal relationships over narrative content. This approach was a departure from the more detailed and narrative-driven portraits of the time, positioning Whistler as a pioneer of modern art.

The painting is housed in the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston, Massachusetts, where it continues to be celebrated for its refined beauty and Whistler's masterful technique. The portrait not only captures the likeness of Mrs. Huth but also embodies Whistler's artistic philosophy, making it a significant work in the history of portraiture and a testament to his enduring influence on the art world.
