Slender Woman with Vase is a 1898 oil by József Rippl-Rónai, held at Art Institute of Chicago.
The painting depicts a woman in a long, dark dress, with her back to the viewer. She is holding a vase above her head with both hands. The woman's dress is long-sleeved and reaches down to her ankles. Her hair is styled in an updo, and she is wearing no visible jewelry. The background of the painting is a light-colored wall with a picture frame hanging on it. The woman's pose and the style of the painting suggest a sense of elegance and sophistication. The use of dark colors for the woman's dress creates a striking contrast with the light-colored background. To learn more about the artist's use of chiaroscuro, look up József Rippl-Rónai.
