Little Evelyn

James McNeill Whistler

National Gallery of Art

The image is a full-body sketch of a young girl standing. She is facing forward with a delicate, youthful face and wavy, short hair framing her face. She wears a long, flowing dress with detailed patterns on the chest and sleeves. Her right arm hangs by her side, while her left hand holds a garment. The background includes light sketching suggesting shadows and a hint of a structure behind her.
