Central to Wistler's concept of design were Asian objects from his personal collection, such as the ceramics and the woman's embroidered Chinese robe. Whistler's way of emphasizing that his works are primarily abstract compositions of colors, the title Purple and rose refers to the seventeenth-century Chinese porcelain jar that the young woman holds.
