Description: | CRE WHISTLER, Beatrix; (English; 1857-1896) Many of Beatrix Whistler's portrait sketches are of family and friends, who were easily accessible and compliant models. The portraits range from quick pen sketches to delicate, considered pencil drawings.
This drawing shows four different views of girls reading. In two views, the girl is wearing a hat, possibly made out of straw. On the back are several sketches of hands and faces. Beatrix Whistler has used pen and ink to create strong hatching, indicating shadow and texture. She often drew her models reading (see GLAHA 50209, 46423, 46481).
