"Nocturne in Gray and Gold: Snow in Chelsea" is a painting by American artist James Abbott McNeill Whistler. Whistler was known for his atmospheric landscapes and nocturnes, and this painting is a prime example of his style. The painting depicts a snowy scene in Chelsea, London, with a solitary figure walking in the foreground. Whistler uses muted tones of gray and gold to capture the soft light of the moon and the falling snow. The overall effect is one of tranquility and solitude, emphasizing the beauty of an otherwise mundane scene. This piece represents Whistler's focus on the "arrangement of line, form, and color" and how they come together to create mood and atmosphere.
