Croquis de Maud

James McNeill Whistler, vers 1871/1873

The image is a sketch of the upper body of a seated person. The person is slightly turned inward, with their torso facing right. The sketch shows the person's facial features and hair lightly drawn, with the head slightly inclined downward. The hair appears to be tied back. The clothing is suggested by soft lines, indicating a garment draped around the shoulder and torso. There are no visible jewelry or objects being held. An inscription in the bottom left corner reads, "To S.P. Avery, Sunday, June 22, 1873, Whistler S.W." The background is plain, focusing on the sketch on textured paper.
