Woman in Yellow is a 1875 oil by Gustave Léonard de Jonghe, a Impressionism work, held at Clark Art Institute.
This painting shows a woman reclining on a couch, wearing a long yellow dress with white lace trim. Her dark hair is pulled back, and she holds a fan in her right hand. A small white dog sits beside her on the couch. The couch is black with gold accents, and a colorful rug lies on the floor. A plant in a decorative pot sits on a table behind the couch. The woman's dress and the couch are decorated with intricate patterns, and the room's wallpaper features a floral design. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of relaxation and elegance. The artist's use of color and composition creates a sense of depth and texture, drawing the viewer's eye to the woman and her surroundings.
