The Little Nude Model Reading
James Abbott McNeill Whistler
Description
Subject Matter:
The model for this figure is probably one of the Pettigrew sisters and the composition is very closely related to a pastel in the Fogg, "The Fortune Teller--A Red Note", 1886.
Physical Description:
A nude model sits against a cabinet reading. She is shown largely in profile; her head, wraped in a scarf, looks down at the book she holds. She faces left and her left leg is crossed over the right. Behind her on the cabinet are objects including fabric.
