The Window Seat

Clarence H. White

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a woman seated sideways. She is leaning slightly back with her left arm on her lap and her right hand holding a piece of paper. Her facial features are captured in profile, with calm expression. She has slightly wavy hair tied back in a loose bun. She wears a long dress with puffy sleeves and a floral pattern, cascading down to the floor. In the background, there is a wall with a framed picture and a window to her right, suggesting a vintage setting.
