Little Evelyn is a 1896 ink by James McNeill Whistler, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a young girl in a long dress, standing slightly sideways. Her hair is pulled back, and she holds a small object in her right hand. The lines are loose and quick, almost like a quick drawing. The artist used a technique that lets ink roll onto a smooth stone before being transferred to paper. This makes the lines look soft and sketchy. Look up lithography to see how this process works.
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.
