Portrait of Joseph Pennell

Childe Hassam

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a sketched view of a person seen from behind, standing upright with their hands on a counter or table surface. The person has short, dark hair and is wearing a long-sleeved shirt with rolled-up sleeves, a vest, and an apron tied around their waist. In front of the person are bottles or containers on the surface. The background features large windows letting in light, suggesting an indoor setting during the day. There are indeterminate shapes outside the windows and items nearby, possibly on shelving or another part of the workspace.
