Composición en rosa y negro: retrato de Theodore Duret

1883
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 771
El coleccionista y crítico de arte parisino Theodore Duret, uno de los primeros defensores de la obra de Gustave Courbet, Édouard Manet y los impresionistas, posó para este retrato en el estudio londinense de Whistler. Duret pidió al pintor que le retratara vestido de frac, pero éste le sugirió que llevara al brazo un dominó color de rosa, que evoca los tonos de la piel y alegra la austera paleta negra y gris. Manifestación ejemplar del estilo de la madurez de Whistler, el retrato combina la cabeza de rasgos hábilmente personalizados con la indumentaria y fondo escogidos para crear una composición armoniosa.
