Nude Model, Back View

James McNeill Whistler

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a partial sketch of a person in a leaning forward stance with arms resting on a horizontal surface. The person's face is turned slightly towards the viewer, with curly hair, a cap, and soft facial features drawn using delicate lines. They are wearing a loose-fitting garment, and textured fabric or drapery cascades around their feet. The background is plain and unadorned.
