A Portrait: Mildred Howells

James McNeill Whistler

The image is a sketch of a woman seated in a chair. She is shown in a side view with her body slightly turned to the left. The woman is wearing a hat with decorative elements, and her hair is pulled back. She is dressed in a long dress with puffed sleeves and a light-colored or elaborate area over the chest. Her hands are resting in her lap, and she appears composed. The background is simple and undetailed.
