About Artwork: (1883) "The Parisian collector and art critic Théodore Duret (1838–1927), an early champion of Gustave Courbet, Edouard Manet, and the Impressionists, posed for this portrait in Whistler’s London studio. At Duret’s request, the artist portrayed him in formal evening dress but suggested that he drape a pink domino—a hooded masquerade cloak—over his arm to echo the flesh tones and relieve the austere black-and-gray palette. An exemplar of Whistler’s mature style, the portrait is a skillful characterization and a harmonious "arrangement." The red ladies’ fan adds a striking color accent and has prompted some viewers to see a hint of narrative." - (The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York)
