"The Blue Mandarin Coat," also known as "The Blue Kimono," is a notable painting by the American Impressionist artist Joseph Rodefer DeCamp. Created in 1922, this work is an exemplar of DeCamp's mastery in portraiture and his adept use of color and light. The painting depicts a woman dressed in an ornate blue mandarin coat, or kimono, which is richly decorated with intricate designs that exemplify the influence of Japonism on Western art during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Joseph Rodefer DeCamp (1858–1923) was a member of the Boston School of painters, a group known for combining the academic painting techniques of the European tradition with the palette and light of the Impressionist movement. DeCamp studied under Frank Duveneck and alongside John Twachtman, and later, he was influenced by the work of Edmund Tarbell and Frank Benson. His oeuvre includes portraits, figures, and landscapes, but he is particularly celebrated for his sensitive and elegant portrayal of women, as seen in "The Blue Mandarin Coat."

The subject of the painting is posed in a three-quarter length format, her gaze slightly averted, which imbues the work with a sense of introspection and quietude. The blue of the kimono is rendered with a luminous quality that contrasts with the more subdued tones of the background, drawing the viewer's attention to the garment and the sitter's serene expression. The brushwork demonstrates DeCamp's skill in capturing the texture of fabrics and the subtleties of human complexion.

"The Blue Mandarin Coat" is considered an important work within DeCamp's body of art and is often cited as a fine example of American Impressionism's contribution to the genre of portraiture. The painting is not only significant for its aesthetic qualities but also for its cultural relevance, as it reflects the cross-cultural exchanges that were prevalent in the art world of the time.

As of the knowledge cutoff date, the painting is part of a private collection or a museum's holdings, and it has been exhibited in various art institutions, contributing to the understanding and appreciation of Joseph Rodefer DeCamp's artistic legacy and the broader context of American Impressionist portraiture.
