1893
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
The Cap is a 1893 by James McNeill Whistler, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a woman standing sideways, her head turned slightly away. She wears a loose, flowing robe that drapes over her shoulders. The lines are soft and quick, like a rough draft—no hard details, just shapes and light shadows. The artist focused on movement and light, not perfect lines. This style was common in Impressionism, where quick brushstrokes or pencil marks captured the moment. Look up James McNeill Whistler to see how he played with light and shadow in other works.
James Abbott McNeill Whistler was an American painter in oils and watercolor, and printmaker, active during the American Gilded Age and based primarily in the United Kingdom.
