woman in a white dress belongs to James McNeill Whistler. may be written by another painter
The article states that the recently discovered picture of a woman in a white dress belongs to James McNeill Whistler. It also provides three reasons to support the claim. However, the speaker explains that arguments are not undoubtedly and the picture may be written by another painter.
To begin with, the passage insists that the work has been exhibited in London. That was organized by a friend of Whistler, who believed that a masterpiece is created by the painter. Nonetheless, the lecturer contends this point by explaining that this show consists of works of many various painters and supposedly the woman in white may be pictured by one of them. In the lecture it is said, that the picture may be shown because Whistler’s friend had it in his collection only.
What is more, the reading reports that the picture resembles another Whistler’s work. Namely, it is the symphony in white. We also learn from the passage that the painting has recognizable traits of Whistler’s style that he showed in “Arrangement in gray and black”. Still, the listening asserts that this style was board spread in Whistler’s life-time. Many of his coeval painters worked in grey and black tones. Furthermore, painting of a woman was a popular model as well.
In addition, the article claims that there is no signature on the picture, but there is a butterfly in the corner. According to the reading, whistler used a picture Butterfly of butterfly instead of signature in early ages of his career. Nevertheless, the lecture opposes this point by explaining that the butterfly is located in the wrong corner. Whistlers placed it in upper right corner whereas the butterfly on the work is in the down-left corner. Moreover, that has been shown that the butterfly was added later than the paint was created. Lecture states that it has been done in order to picture looks like Whistler’s work.
