National Gallery of Art

The image shows a child reclining in a seated position with legs straight out. The child's head is turned slightly towards the viewer, revealing a round face with prominent eyes and tousled hair. They are dressed in a loose garment and resting one hand on the ground. In the lower area, there is a signature "Whistler 1859." The background has sketch-like lines with a textured surface.
