James McNeill Whistler, 1861

The image is an etching showing a person in a frontal position with their head slightly turned to the right. The person's facial features are depicted with fine lines, including pronounced cheekbones, a straight nose, and full lips. Their long, wavy hair cascades around their face and shoulders, shown with thick lines. The clothing is hinted at with linear strokes, potentially indicating a draped garment. The background features cross-hatching and line work for shading, with no distinct features, emphasizing the person as the main focus.
