James McNeill Whistler

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a man's upper body profile facing left. He has short, neatly combed hair, a part along the top, lightly etched facial features, a pronounced nose, and is wearing a suit with a high-collared shirt. The background consists of hatched lines for depth, with shading and texture to define form and light.
