Green and Gold

by 1917

Not on view

One of Dewing's favorite themes was that of a woman seated in isolation in a dreamy interior. He was inspired by such diverse sources as Jan Vermeer and James McNeill Whistler, along with the formal arrangements of Japanese prints. This painting was first exhibited in 1917 at the Albright Art Gallery in Buffalo.
