Greek Girl, seated woman in drapery by Whistler

A seated woman in a long, loosely draped robe sits on a wooden chest, turned three-quarters toward the viewer, her hair pulled back. White chalk highlights the folds of fabric against a brown paper ground drawn in black crayon. The setting is sparse, with only the chest and figure defined.
