"Lady with a Rose" is a 1923 oil painting by American artist Thomas Wilmer Dewing. Dewing was a prominent figure in American Impressionism, known for his delicate, ethereal paintings of women. The painting, housed at the Dayton Art Institute, depicts a woman in a flowing white gown, her soft features illuminated by a subtle light. The blurred, almost dreamy atmosphere suggests a romantic mood, characteristic of Dewing's style, which often explored themes of beauty, femininity, and fleeting moments.
