The Princess from the Land of Porcelain
''Rose and Silver: The Princess from the Land of Porcelain'' (better known as ''The Princess from the Land of Porcelain''; also known by the French title ''La Princesse du pays de la porcelaine'') is a painting by American-born artist James Abbott McNeill Whistler. It was painted between 1863 and 1865. The painting currently hangs above the fireplace in the Peacock Room at the Freer Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C.
==Description==
''Princess'' depicts a beautiful Western woman wearing a kimono and standing amidst numerous Asian objects, including a rug and screen as well as some porcelain. She holds a hand fan and looks at the viewer "wistfully". The entirety is rendered in an impressionistic manner. ''Princess'' frame is decorated with a similar motif to the painting, with interlocking circles and numerous rectangles.
Aiko Okamoto-MacPhall notes that Whistler at the time he painted ''Princess'' often used large amounts of gold color, such as in his similarly themed ''Caprice in Purple and Gold No.2: The Gold Screen''. Although the painting itself does not include any shades of gold, while displayed at the home of British shipping magnate Frederick Leyland it was set in a gold and blue interior.
