Rag Pickers, Quartier Mouffetard, Paris

James McNeill Whistler

National Gallery of Art

The image displays two individuals within a room. The scene is visible through a doorway framed by textured walls. On the left, a woman is seated at a table aligned parallel to the walls. She has long hair, a light long-sleeve top, and is looking towards the standing figure. The person on the right is standing, wearing a dark jacket, trousers, and a hat, obscuring their facial features. The room has a rustic interior with a table holding various objects, textured walls, and a shadowy background. The floor has a wooden texture.
