About the piece

Painted in 1901, Thomas Dewing's 'Lady in White' is an exquisite example of American Tonalism, focusing on a harmonious, restricted palette of gold and ivory. The sitter is depicted in a moment of quiet contemplation, her gown rendered with ethereal, shimmering brushwork that exemplifies Dewing's poetic and sophisticated style.
