Little Dorothy

James McNeill Whistler

National Gallery of Art

The image illustrates the upper three-quarters of a seated person, facing forward. The person's facial features are softly depicted, with gentle lines indicating eyes and a mouth, while their hair is short and slightly tousled. They wear a dress with visible sleeves, and their hands are placed in their lap. No jewelry or accessories are shown. The background is simplistic, featuring sketchy diagonal lines and shading.
