‘Composizione in giallo e grigio’: Effie Deans — Storia e analisi

Whistler qui ha collegato la pittura con la musica e la letteratura, come alluso dal titolo di quest'opera. Ha utilizzato il termine musicale 'arrangiamento' per richiamare l'attenzione sulla composizione dei colori. In seguito, ha aggiunto il sottotitolo letterario 'Effie Deans' dopo l'eroina di un romanzo dello scrittore scozzese Walter Scott.

Il modello che posa per Whistler in questo dipinto è Maud Franklin, che ha lavorato con lui per oltre quindici anni.
