Whitewashing Julia: An Original Comedy In Three Acts And An Epilogue

Whitewashing Julia is a comedy play written by Henry Arthur Jones. The story revolves around a young artist named Julia who is struggling to make a name for herself in the art world. She is faced with the challenge of creating a portrait of a wealthy and influential man, Lord William Lancing, who has commissioned her to paint his portrait. Julia, being a woman of principles, refuses to compromise her artistic integrity and refuses to whitewash Lord Lancing in her painting. This leads to a series of comical events where Julia's friends and family try to convince her to change her mind while Lord Lancing tries to bribe her into painting a flattering portrait. The play is set in the late 19th century and explores themes of gender roles, artistic integrity, and social class. The play is divided into three acts and an epilogue, each providing a different perspective on the story.
