Little London Model

James McNeill Whistler

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a sketch of a standing person facing slightly to the right with arms positioned behind their back. The figure's facial features are softly drawn with a gentle smile suggested, and the hair is wavy and loosely styled. The person is nude, with no clothing depicted. The surroundings show simple lines and shading indicating an interior setting with a rectangular shape and an armchair to the left. The background is blank, emphasizing the focus on the figure with minimalist details suggesting an unfinished artistic approach.
