"Symphony in White, No. 2: The Little White Girl" is an oil painting created by the American-born, British-based artist James Abbott McNeill Whistler in 1864. This artwork is part of a series of paintings by Whistler that explore the theme of women in white, with the first being "Symphony in White, No. 1: The White Girl." The painting measures 76.5 cm by 51.1 cm and is currently housed in the Tate Britain in London.

The subject of the painting is Joanna Hiffernan, who was Whistler's muse and lover at the time. She is depicted standing in front of a fireplace, dressed in a white muslin dress, holding a Japanese fan, and gazing into a mirror. The composition is notable for its subtle use of color and light, as well as its delicate rendering of textures and fabrics. Whistler's interest in Japanese art is evident in the inclusion of the fan and the overall aesthetic of the painting, which reflects the influence of Japonisme that was prevalent in European art during the mid-19th century.

"Symphony in White, No. 2" was first exhibited at the Royal Academy of Arts in London in 1865, where it received mixed reviews. Some critics praised its beauty and technical skill, while others were puzzled by its lack of narrative content and unconventional approach to portraiture. Whistler himself was known for his belief in "art for art's sake," a philosophy that emphasized the importance of aesthetic experience over moral or narrative content.

The painting is significant not only for its artistic qualities but also for its role in the development of Whistler's career. It helped to establish his reputation as a leading figure in the Aesthetic Movement, which sought to prioritize beauty and sensory experience in art. Today, "Symphony in White, No. 2" is considered one of Whistler's masterpieces and an important example of 19th-century portraiture.
