Florence Leyland is a 1874 ink by James McNeill Whistler, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting shows a young girl standing with one foot forward, wearing a long dress. She looks calm and serene. The girl's hair and clothes have lots of details. The artist used a simple background to focus on the girl. This makes her stand out. The dress is flowing and ankle-length, which was a common style at the time. To learn more about this style, look at the work of artist: Whistler, James McNeill.
