"Sketch of Harmony in Grey and Green: Miss Cecily Alexander" is a notable work by the American-born painter James Abbott McNeill Whistler, created in the latter part of the 19th century. This painting is part of Whistler's famous "Harmony in Grey" series, in which he explored the subtle interplay of color and form to capture the essence of his subjects rather than their detailed representations. The painting features Miss Cecily Alexander, the daughter of a prominent London banker, W.C. Alexander, who commissioned Whistler for portraits of his children.

Whistler's approach to the portrait of Miss Cecily Alexander is consistent with his aesthetic principles, which were heavily influenced by the ideas of "art for art's sake" and the Aesthetic Movement. The painting is characterized by its restrained color palette and the delicate balance between the figure and the surrounding space, which creates an overall sense of harmony and tranquility. Whistler's technique in this work reflects his interest in the tonal qualities of color and the flattening of form, which were radical departures from the more detailed and realistic portraiture of the era.

The painting is also significant for its role in the development of Whistler's career and his relationship with his patrons. The commission for the Alexander children's portraits was a major undertaking for Whistler, and his interactions with the family during this period were complex and at times contentious. The resulting works, however, have been celebrated for their innovative approach to portraiture and their contribution to the evolution of modern art.

"Sketch of Harmony in Grey and Green: Miss Cecily Alexander" is not only a testament to Whistler's artistic vision but also an important piece within the broader context of late 19th-century art. It exemplifies the shift towards abstraction and the emphasis on aesthetic experience that would come to define the modern art movement. The painting is held in high regard by art historians and critics and continues to be studied for its aesthetic qualities and its place in Whistler's oeuvre.
