Winter is a 1889 oil by Alfred Stevens, a Impressionism work, held at Clark Art Institute.
This painting shows a woman in a long, white dress with a bow at the neckline, standing in front of a mirror. Her dark hair is styled up, and she's wearing white gloves and a flower in her hair. The room has a brown wall with a pattern, a table with a white cloth, and a chair. The overall mood is calm and elegant. The woman's dress is detailed with ruffles and folds, and her pose suggests she's getting ready for an event. The mirror reflects the wall behind her, adding depth to the scene. The artist's use of light and shadow creates a sense of warmth and intimacy.
