Symphony in White, No. 2: The Little White Girl (1864). James Abbott McNeill Whistler (American, 1834-1903). Oil paint on canvas. Tate.A young woman, dressed in white, leaning against a mantelpiece and gazing dreamily into a mirror, is captured in a moment of deep contemplation. Her face is reflected in the mirror and silhouetted against a seascape, reinforcing the dream-like atmosphere. The reflected image is sad and careworn, and one is tempted to draw some kind of link with the wedding ring so prominently displayed on her left hand. -- source link
