Cleveland Museum of Art

The Winged Hat by James McNeill Whistler: A pencil drawing of a woman sitting in a chair. The woman wears a hat with a feather on the front. The hat brim is wide and flat. She sits on a chair with her body facing slightly left and her head looking forward. Her left arm is bent at the elbow, with her hand near her stomach. Her right arm is not visible. She wears a dress with a high neckline and appears to be smoking a cigarette. The background is a light color with darker shading behind the woman.
