Study: Joseph Pennell

James McNeill Whistler

National Gallery of Art

The image is a sketch of a person standing. The figure is upright with a slight turn, and appears to be holding something. The facial features are lightly sketched, and the hair is short and neatly styled. The person is wearing formal clothing: a long coat over a suit. The background has a textured, hatched pattern that contrasts with the figure. There are no visible jewelry or objects in the person's hands.
