Draped Model, Standing

James McNeill Whistler

National Gallery of Art

The sketch features a person leaning slightly against a surface or ledge in a relaxed standing position. The individual has one arm resting on the surface and the other bent at the elbow. The person's facial features are softly drawn, with the head slightly tilted downward. The person's hair is short and their outfit is a loose garment that flows around their body, possibly a robe or cloak. The background is minimal, with no distinct elements or details present other than the signature marking on the right side of the sketch.
