Description
Mother of Pearl and Silver: The Andalusian is a painting by James McNeill Whistler. The work shows a woman in full figure standing with her back to the viewer, with her head in profile. The model is Ethel Whibley, (nee Birnie Philip) the artist's secretary and sister-in-law.
The colour scheme of the painting is black, mother of pearl and silver. The title refers to Ethel’s grey silk evening dress, which is a Parisian dress in a belle epoque style, with the transparent layered sleeves of the black bolero jacket resembling a traditional Andalusian costume.
