About the piece
Painted around 1895, this evocative portrait by James McNeill Whistler captures the youthful gaze of Alice Butt. The work is characterized by a rich, warm palette of sienna and umber, with loose, painterly brushwork that creates a sense of depth and atmosphere characteristic of Whistler's later style.
