The Dancing Girl

James McNeill Whistler

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a full-body sketch of a person standing. The figure is slightly angled to the right, with one arm extended outward and the other resting along their side. The person's facial features are not clearly defined, and they have wavy hair that falls below their ears. They are draped in a flowing garment that extends dramatically to one side. The individual is not wearing any jewelry or holding any objects. The sketch is set against a plain background.
