James McNeill Whistler

National Gallery of Art

The sketch depicts a person standing in full body, with a slight lean to one side. The facial features are not detailed, and the hair suggests a short hairstyle. The person wears a dark, long-sleeved garment and pants, with hands in the pockets. The background consists of shaded pencil lines creating a textured backdrop.
