Little Evelyn is a 1896 ink by James McNeill Whistler, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The image is a black and white lithograph of a young girl. She has curly hair and is wearing a long dress with a ruffled collar and cuffs. The dress appears to be white or light-colored, and it has a high neckline and long sleeves. The girl is standing in front of a dark background, which may be a wall or a piece of furniture. The lithograph is done in a simple yet expressive style, with bold lines and minimal shading. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation, as if the girl is lost in thought. The artist has captured the girl's features and expression with great sensitivity, creating a sense of intimacy and connection with the viewer. This lithograph is reminiscent of the work of Whistler, James McNeill.
