Little Draped Figure, Leaning

James McNeill Whistler

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a full-length figure of a person leaning back with their body slightly arched and one leg crossed over the other. The person's head is tilted down, and their facial features are subtle. They wear a snug head covering, and their hair is short or tucked underneath. The loose, flowing clothing resembles a robe or long garment. In the background, there is a horizontal element the person leans against.
