The lady in blue (Mr and Mrs J ... is a 1902 oil by Hugh Ramsay, a Impressionism work, held at Art Gallery of New South Wales.
The painting depicts a woman in a long, light blue dress with a high neckline and long sleeves, standing in profile to the left. She has dark hair styled in an updo. To her right, a man is visible from the waist up, wearing a dark suit and holding a violin and bow in his right hand. The background is dark, and the floor appears to be made of wood. In the foreground, a violin case, a book, and a music stand are arranged on the floor, suggesting a musical setting. The woman's gaze is directed towards the man, who seems to be preparing to play the violin. The painting's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and dimensionality, drawing the viewer's attention to the figures in the scene.
