This image depicts a lithograph of a standing woman, draped in fabric that partially covers her body. The woman's right arm is bent at the elbow, with her hand resting on her hip, while her left arm is extended to the side. She stands with her feet together, facing the viewer. The lithograph is rendered in black ink on laid paper, with visible texture from the paper's weave. The artist's use of bold lines and subtle shading creates a sense of depth and volume in the figure. The image showcases Whistler's skill in capturing the human form with simplicity and elegance.
