Draped Figure Reclining

James McNeill Whistler

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a reclining figure draped in fabric. The figure lies on their side with their head resting on their right hand. The figure wears a white garment that drapes over their body and right leg. Their right arm bends at the elbow, and their left leg extends out in front of them. The figure's left arm bends at the elbow and rests on their left thigh. A fabric with a patterned design hangs beside them. The background shows a wall with a blue upper section and a reddish section below. The drawing appears on a piece of off-white paper with visible texture.
