The Sisters

James McNeill Whistler

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Sisters by James McNeill Whistler: A black and white sketch of two women sitting in a room. The woman on the left sits on the edge of a chair. She wears a long dress with a high neckline and has dark hair. Her left leg is slightly bent. The woman on the right reclines on a chair covered with a fabric that hangs in folds to the floor. She appears to look up at her sister and wears a similar dark outfit. A small table with a round top and slender legs stands to their left. The background shows lines suggesting curtains or drapes. The sketch appears to be done in pencil on textured paper.
