The Fur Boa is a 1896 oil by William Kennedy, a Impressionism work, held at Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum.
The painting depicts a woman sitting in a chair, wearing a dark-colored dress and a fur boa around her neck. Her dark hair is styled in an updo, and she has a subtle smile on her face. The background of the painting is a light-colored wall with a picture frame hanging on it. The woman's attire and hairstyle suggest that the painting was created in the late 19th century.
