Annie, Seated

James McNeill Whistler

National Gallery of Art

The image is an etching of a young girl sitting on a chair. She is seen from the waist up, in a relaxed posture with her hands in her lap. The girl's facial features are depicted with minimal detail, and she has long, wavy hair. She wears a long-sleeved dress. The background is simple, showing faint outlines of the chair and ground. The artist's signature and the name “Annie” are at the bottom of the etching.
