Annie

James McNeill Whistler

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a young girl seated. She has a youthful face with soft, rounded features and a contemplative expression. Her long, dark, wavy hair cascades over her shoulders. She wears a dark, long-sleeved dress with a high neckline. Her hands rest in her lap as she sits on an indistinct surface. The background is plain with faint shading and sketch lines. The lower left bears the signature "Whistler."
