Model Draping

James McNeill Whistler

Cleveland Museum of Art

A pencil drawing on beige paper of a woman wrapped in a long, draped cloth. The woman stands with her head tilted back and to the right, looking up. Her body is mostly obscured by the folds of the cloth. The right arm is down by her side under the fabric and the left arm is raised, bent at the elbow with the hand under the fabric at the top of her head. The drawing is done in varying shades of gray pencil. There is a small signature to the right of the figure. The style is by James McNeill Whistler, titled "Model Draping".
