The Duet, No. 2

James McNeill Whistler

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a sketch of two people seated next to each other with a musical instrument in front of them. They are both focused on the sheet music on the stand, leaning slightly forward. The sketch is monochromatic with a minimalist style, and the background includes sparse details of a room interior, with furniture lightly sketched around the central figures.
