The Lady in White (French: Le Dame en blanc), also known as The Woman in White, is an 1880 oil-on-canvas painting by French artist Marie Bracquemond. It depicts the artist's half-sister Louise Quivoron, who often served as a model for her paintings. It was one of three paintings by Bracquemond shown at the Fifth Impressionist Exhibition in April 1880. A previous painting, Woman in the Garden (1877), may have been a study for The Lady in White. Like other Impressionists, Bracquemond worked outside en plein air, mostly in her garden at Sèvres. The work received renewed attention in 2024, with a series of exhibitions in honor of the 150-year anniversary of the original Impressionist exhibitions.
