Symphony in White, No. 2: The Little White Girl 1864

"Symphony in White, No. 2: The Little White Girl" (1864) by James Abbott McNeill Whistler is a portrait of a young woman in a white dress, standing before a fireplace. The soft, muted tones of the painting highlight the figure of the woman, whose face is partially obscured by her long hair. The composition of the painting is simple, emphasizing the delicate beauty of the subject. Whistler's signature, which appears in the top right corner of the painting, adds a personal touch. This piece is considered part of Whistler’s famous "Symphony in White" series.
