The Attic Window is a 1920 ink by Mildred McMillen, held at National Gallery of Art.
This black-and-white woodcut shows a person standing near a window in an attic. The room has slanted walls and a steep roof, with a ladder leaning against one side. The figure is dressed in a long coat with a patterned pocket, looking out through the window’s panes. The artist used sharp lines and solid black shapes to create a strong contrast against the white background. This style makes the scene feel geometric and simple.
