Miss Lenoir

James McNeill Whistler

National Gallery of Art

The image is a sketch of a person from the waist up. The subject is facing forward with their hands near their chest. The person's facial features are lightly sketched, and their hair is styled up under a hat or headpiece with textured or feather-like details. They wear a detailed, ruffled collar or a fur-like garment around their neck and shoulders. There are no visible pieces of jewelry. The background is plain and unadorned.
