Description: | Gilded reeded, 105.2 x 82.2 x 8.1 None CRE WHISTLER, James McNeill; (American; 1834-1903) The sitter, probably a Parisian model, is painted on a standard French size of canvas - 'toile de vingt'. The painting appears to have been carried out in one session. This work is best described as a "lay in", where Whistler sketched in the main elements of the composition, but did not take the painting any further. His painterly skill is apparent in the expressive, fluid brushstrokes which capture the subject's easy pose and graceful limbs.
