A Lady Seated is a 1893 ink by James McNeill Whistler, a Impressionism work, depicting Sitting, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see a woman sitting in a chair, dressed in dark clothes. She's placed in a simple room with not much detail. The lady's face is calm and quiet, which makes the picture feel peaceful. The artist used simple lines and shapes to draw the lady. This makes the picture feel simple and quiet too. The lady's clothes and the room are not detailed, which makes you focus on her face. You can learn more about this kind of art by looking into the technique: lithography.
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.
