James McNeill Whistler

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a full-length view of a person depicted in a sketch. The person stands upright, facing slightly towards the viewer's left. They have long hair flowing down over their shoulders and wear a round, flat hat. The person's clothing consists of a long cape that drapes down from their shoulders and a full, long skirt. There are no visible pieces of jewelry or objects being held by the person. The background features primarily vertical lines, suggesting drapery or a curtain-like setting, giving an impression of a neutral or minimalistic indoor environment.
