"Symphony in White, No. 2: The Little White Girl" is an oil painting by American-born artist James Abbott McNeill Whistler, created in 1864. This work is part of Whistler's "Symphonies in White" series, which includes three paintings that reflect his aesthetic approach to art, emphasizing the harmonious arrangement of colors and forms over narrative content. The painting measures 76.5 x 51.25 inches (194 x 130 cm) and is housed in the Tate Britain gallery in London.

The subject of the painting is Joanna Hiffernan, Whistler's mistress and frequent model. She is depicted in profile, standing beside a mantelpiece in the artist's studio, dressed in a white muslin dress that exemplifies Whistler's fascination with the color white and its nuanced variations. The title "The Little White Girl" suggests a sense of innocence and purity, which is reinforced by the delicate tones and soft lighting of the composition.

Whistler's work is notable for its subtle tonal harmony and the balance between the figure and the surrounding space. The painting incorporates various textures and patterns, such as the oriental rug, the vase with a peacock feather, and the porcelain, which contribute to the overall aesthetic effect. The mirror in the background reflects the girl's image, adding a layer of complexity to the visual narrative and inviting contemplation about perception and reality.

"Symphony in White, No. 2: The Little White Girl" is a significant example of Whistler's contribution to the Aesthetic Movement, which advocated for "art for art's sake" and sought to separate art from moral or didactic messages. The painting's emphasis on aesthetic qualities over storytelling reflects Whistler's belief that art should be appreciated for its formal elements and its capacity to evoke mood and emotion, rather than for its ability to tell a story or convey a moral lesson.

As a key piece in Whistler's oeuvre, "Symphony in White, No. 2: The Little White Girl" has been the subject of extensive art historical analysis and is considered a precursor to abstract art due to its focus on color and form. The painting continues to be admired for its innovative approach to composition and its influence on the development of modern art.
