Whistler

Sir Leslie Ward

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a man standing in a pose, one hand on his hip and the other holding a walking stick. He has distinct facial features, a mustache, and wears a monocle on his right eye. His hair is curly, dark, and under a wide-brimmed hat. He wears a long, double-breasted, tan coat with a high collar, dark trousers, and shoes. A white shirt is visible under the coat. The background is a simple, flat pale color.
