Annie Seated

James McNeill Whistler

National Gallery of Art

The image is a sketch of a person sitting, captured from head to toe in a seated position. The person is facing slightly to the right, with hands resting in their lap. The facial features are not highly detailed, and the person has long hair falling down their back and shoulders. They are wearing a long-sleeved gown and seated on a chair. The background is blank with faint, minimalistic lines outlining the chair and surroundings. There are no visible objects or jewelry in the drawing.
