Confidence in the Garden is a 1894 by James McNeill Whistler, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
You see two women walking in a garden, talking to each other. They are surrounded by flowers and trees. The women are James McNeill Whistler's wife and her sister, and they seem lost in conversation. The painting is interesting because it shows a private moment between the two women. To learn more about this style, look up the technique of sfumato.
