Description: | Gilded reeded, 107.3 x 67.5 x 7.7 None CRE WHISTLER, James McNeill; (American; 1834-1903) This is one of a number of nude paintings from this period. However, it is fairly unusual as no other painting by Whistler is known to have been handled in this way. The figure, and the suggestion of drapery with a sword on the right-hand side, are all vaguely outlined in white paint, and the yellowish ochre colour is only relieved by the touch of red on the figure's lips. Whistler may have intended this to form part of a series. A drawing in the Glasgow University Library may be related to this piece (P404, MacDonald 1995 (1601)).
