Maud, Standing

James McNeill Whistler

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a woman standing in profile, facing slightly left. She has detailed facial features, with her eyes looking forward, a defined nose, and lips. She has styled hair and wears a long, elegant dress with a fitted bodice. Her left arm is bent at the elbow, resting on her hip, while her right arm hangs by her side. The background features vertical lines and shading that match the contours of the dress.
