The Fan (Model No. 3)

James McNeill Whistler

Cleveland Museum of Art

A sketch of a nude woman holding a fan, drawn in pencil on brown paper. The woman is standing with her body facing slightly to the right, her head turned to the right. Her right arm is extended to the left holding a fan, while her left arm hangs down by her side. The woman's hair appears long and wavy. The background of the sketch is plain brown paper with some darker spots and marks. A small signature "d.B" is visible on the left side.
