The Dancing Girl

James McNeill Whistler

National Gallery of Art

The image shows the full body of a person standing with a slight lean. The facial features are sketchily drawn, with an abstract depiction of the face. The person's hair is suggested with light strokes. They are draped in a flowing, translucent garment. One hand is visible and articulated with light strokes. The background is plain and undetailed.
