Lady in White c. 1910

Thomas Wilmer Dewing’s *Lady in White* (c. 1910) is a portrait painting of a woman in a white dress, seated in a wicker chair with a large mirror behind her. The painting is characterized by its soft, muted colors and its emphasis on light and shadow, a hallmark of Dewing’s style. Dewing was known for his paintings of elegant, idealized figures in domestic settings, and *Lady in White* is a fine example of his work in this genre. This artwork provides a glimpse into the refined aesthetic of American art at the turn of the 20th century.
