1897
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
The Medici Collar is a 1897 by James McNeill Whistler, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting depicts a woman wearing a high, ruffled collar. The collar is the main focus, with the rest of the figure somewhat blurred. The woman's face is turned slightly to the side, and her features are not sharply defined. The overall effect is one of softness and subtlety, with the collar being the most prominent feature.
