Description

Subject Matter:

This work dates from the same time as the other draped figures that Whistler drew in the early 1890s. This one was printed in Paris by Henri Belfond, all during Whistler's lifetime, making this print quite rare.

Physical Description:

A nude woman stands in a contrapposto stance with weight on one leg facing the viewer. She looks down to the left, she has her hair tied under a kerchief of scarf; she holds drapery in her hands that hangs behind her below her hips.
