Portrait Study: Mrs. Philip

James McNeill Whistler

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a sketch of an individual seated from the waist up. The person is sitting upright, facing slightly towards the viewer, with hands clasped together. The facial features are softly rendered, suggesting a calm expression, and the hair is textured. The clothing is detailed, possibly a loose-fitting garment like a dress or blouse with long sleeves. The setting around the person is minimal, with a plain background.
