The Green Dress is a 1910 pastel by Thomas Wilmer Dewing, held at National Gallery of Art.
This portrait painting, titled "The Green Dress", features a woman in a flowing green gown. The woman's face is blurred, but her dark hair is visible, pulled back and away from her face. Her dress is a light green color with a darker green sash around her waist. The background of the painting is a solid brown color. The woman's dress is the main focus of the painting, with the artist using soft pastel colors to create a sense of movement and flow. The dress appears to be made of a lightweight material, and the way it drapes around the woman's body creates a sense of elegance and sophistication. The use of pastel colors in this painting creates a soft, dreamy quality that draws the viewer's eye to the woman's dress.
