1863
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Weary is a 1863 by James McNeill Whistler, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
The painting 'Weary' by James McNeill Whistler shows a woman with long hair sitting in a chair, facing left. She wears a dark dress and has her head tilted slightly back. Her eyes are closed, and her face is pale. The background is dark, with some lighter areas around her head and shoulders. The woman's pose and facial expression convey a sense of tiredness or exhaustion. Her long hair frames her face, and her dark dress blends into the background, making her stand out.
