Annie, One of the 'Twelve Etchings from Nature,' or the 'French Set'

Artist

James McNeill Whistler

Physical Description

A girl stands facing to the left, her face turned slightly towards the viewer. She is show standing in a dark dress with a high collar and long hair parted in the middle. Her dress comes to just below the knee and although she holds the hem of her skirt in her left hand, there is only slight indication of the girl's left leg. The result is a vignetted view; the artist's signature and the inscription bearing the information about the printer (Auguste Delatre) form the bottom of an implied oval frame.
