Study for a Panel

Charles Sprague Pearce

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a person standing in a full-body side view. The individual's head is slightly bowed as they appear to be looking down at an object they are holding. The person's facial features are softly depicted with minimal detail, and their hair is styled and colored deep red. They are wearing a long, flowing robe-like garment in a soft pink hue that reaches down to their feet. The background consists of a wash of watercolors in pale blues and beiges with abstract shapes and vertical forms, creating a serene atmosphere around the figure.
