Pencil-like black sketch of a woman in a long gown leaning over a table with cups, on cream paper.

The Horoscope, transfer lithograph after James McNeill Whistler

A standing woman in a long, loose gown leans forward at a low table, lifting a small cup toward her face while a few cups and a dish sit on the table beside her. The sketchy black lines on cream laid paper leave much of the sheet open, with faint marks suggesting the floor and a small monogram at right.
