"Solitaire" is a painting by the American artist William Verplanck Birney (1858–1909). Birney, known for his genre paintings that often depicted everyday life and social issues of his time, created "Solitaire" as a reflection of the solitary pastime of playing the card game solitaire. The painting is notable for its detailed representation of the subject and the contemplative mood it evokes. It showcases Birney's skill in capturing the nuances of light and shadow, as well as his ability to render textures and fabrics with realism.

The artwork features an individual engrossed in the card game, surrounded by the trappings of a private, interior space. The composition and the use of color contribute to the overall sense of introspection and quietude. "Solitaire" is emblematic of Birney's broader body of work, which often explored the private moments and inner lives of individuals during the late 19th century.

As an artist, William Verplanck Birney received his training at the National Academy of Design in New York and later at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. His works were exhibited in various prestigious venues, including the Paris Salon and the National Academy of Design. "Solitaire" is part of Birney's legacy, representing the cultural and artistic milieu of his era, and it continues to be appreciated for its aesthetic and historical value.

The painting is held in private collections and has been displayed in art exhibitions focusing on American genre painting. It is referenced in discussions of Birney's work and in studies of genre painting in American art history. "Solitaire" remains a significant piece for those interested in the evolution of genre painting and the portrayal of solitary leisure activities in art.
