Draped Figure, Standing

James McNeill Whistler

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a full-body sketch of a standing person. The person is in a leaning position with their head tilted slightly downward and one hand on their hip while the other arm falls by their side. The facial features are soft and slightly abstract, with wavy hair flowing down to the shoulders. They are wearing a long, flowing garment that drapes around their body and reaches the ground, depicted with sweeping lines. No visible jewelry or objects are present, and the background is plain.
