Seated Woman

John Singer Sargent

National Gallery of Art

The drawing depicts a woman from the knees up, in a slightly turned position. Her facial features are softly sketched with a gentle expression. Her hair is styled neatly under a large hat. She is wearing a long elegant garment with flowing lines, accentuating her figure. The garment is detailed with shading indicating texture, possibly fur or formal detail around the shoulders and upper body. The background consists of horizontal lines.
