The Green Bodice

Julian Alden Weir

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Green Bodice by Julian Alden Weir depicts two women viewed from the waist up. The woman on the left has dark hair covered by a large black hat with a feather; she wears a high-necked, long-sleeved dress with a floral pattern in shades of green, pink, and white; and she has a dark fur shawl around her shoulders. Her hands are in front of her, palms down. The woman on the right is mostly obscured; she faces left and wears a black hat with a brown band; her dress sleeve shows white, green and colored patterns; she also wears a dark fur shawl. Behind the women is a wall on the left and a corner with a molding on the right. The room is dimly lit.
