Composição na cor de pele e negro: retrato de Theodore Duret

1883
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 771
O colecionador e crítico de arte Theodore Duret, um dos primeiros defensores da obra de Gustave Courbet, Edouard Manet e dos impressionistas, posou para esse retrato no ateliê de Whistler em Londres. Duret pediu ao pintor que o retratasse vestido de fraque, mas Whistler sugeriu que o colecionador segurasse no braço um dominó de cor rosa—uma capa com capuz—que reflete os tons de pele e ilumina a paleta austera preta e cinza. Manifestação exemplar do estilo maduro de Whistler, o retrato combina a cabeça caracterizada habilmente com um vestuário e cenário escolhidos para criar uma composição harmoniosa.
