Painting Description
"Symphony in White, No. 2: The Little White Girl" is an oil painting by the American-born artist James Abbott McNeill Whistler, created in 1864. This work is part of a series in which Whistler explored variations of the color white, showcasing his interest in color harmony and the aesthetic movement. The painting, which measures 76.5 by 51.25 inches (194.3 cm × 130.2 cm), is a portrait of Joanna Hiffernan, Whistler's mistress and frequent model, who is depicted in a white dress against a white background, emphasizing the subtle interplay of shades and textures.
The painting's title reflects Whistler's musical analogy for his art, where he sought to create visual 'symphonies' and 'arrangements' that focused on the orchestration of color and form over narrative content. "Symphony in White, No. 2" is particularly noted for its tonal subtlety and the delicate balance between realism and abstraction. Whistler's use of a limited color palette prefigures his later Nocturnes and anticipates the developments of tonalism in American art.
The work was exhibited at the Royal Academy in London in 1865, where it received mixed reviews, reflecting the Victorian art world's uncertainty about Whistler's avant-garde approach. Today, the painting is recognized as a significant example of Whistler's early aestheticism and is held in the collection of the Tate Britain in London. It continues to be studied for its innovative approach to color and composition, as well as its influence on the development of modern art.
