Whistler and his wistful Beauties

 Symphony in Flesh colour and pink - Portrait of Mrs Frances Leyland 
James Abbott McNeill Whistler  (1871 - 74)

Every so often I like to include paintings by eminent artists on this blog, because I find them a constant inspiration in style and elegance. Some artists are more inclined to portray women in their works and in doing so, they give us a rendez-vous of fashions of their times. Whistler is a case in point.....

Symphony in White, No.1: The White Girl 1862

Rosa Corder 1878

Harmony in Pink and Grey 1881
