Repose – John White Alexander

<p>Painted in 1895, <em>Repose</em> is one of the most elegant works of American fin-de-siècle painting. John White Alexander captures a young woman in a moment of absolute stillness — her white dress flowing across a dark background, her body surrendered to rest. The composition is stripped of all distraction, leaving only the quiet beauty of the figure. A masterpiece of mood, light and timeless grace.</p>
