Confidences in the Garden is a 1894 ink by James McNeill Whistler, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows two women standing in a garden, their faces close together as if sharing a secret. They're dressed in long skirts and blouses, with one woman wearing a hat. The garden is full of plants and flowers, with a few trees in the background. The women's faces are the main focus of the painting, with the garden blurred into the background. The artist used dark lines and shading to create depth and texture in the image. This painting is an example of lithography, a technique that involves drawing on stone to create a print. You can learn more about this technique by looking up lithography.
James Abbott McNeill Whistler was an American painter in oils and watercolor, and printmaker, active during the American Gilded Age and based primarily in the United Kingdom.
