Life in London is a 1866 by George Louis Palmella Busson Du Maurier, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
In this painting, three women are gathered in a room, their faces and clothing rendered in dark, muted tones. The woman on the left is seated in a chair, while the other two sit on a couch, with one of them holding a piece of fabric. The room's decor is sparse, with only a few pieces of furniture visible. The scene is depicted in a realistic style, with attention to detail in the textures and folds of the women's clothing. The overall mood of the painting is subdued, with the women's expressions suggesting a sense of quiet contemplation. This painting is reminiscent of the works of artists associated with the Realism movement.
George Louis Palmella Busson du Maurier (French: ; 6 March 1834 – 8 October 1896) was a French-British cartoonist, illustrator, and novelist.
