A Study

James Wells Champney

National Gallery of Art

The image portrays the upper portion of a woman's body in profile. She faces to the right, displaying her shoulders, neck, and head. Her hair is styled in an updo secured with a ribbon or band. The woman has a gentle expression, with prominent features like her nose and lips. She is not wearing any clothing, bringing focus to her neck, shoulders, and hair. The background is neutral, and the composition is enclosed within a circular frame. The portrait is mounted on a matte board with a signature in the bottom right corner.
