About the piece
Painted in London around 1860, Whistler’s 'Harmony in Green and Rose' showcases his early mastery of color arrangement and composition. The scene depicts a quiet interior featuring the artist's niece Annie Haden reading, while his half-sister Deborah Haden appears as a ghostly reflection in the mirror, all unified by the vibrant floral chintz curtains that define the room's atmosphere.
