About this work
Both the title and the treatment of this figure study recall Whistler's fascination with the linear and sculptural qualities of classical art during the mid-1860's when he was associated with Albert Moore. Whistler met the British artist in 1865. That year, Moore exhibited "The Marble Seat," at the Royal Academy. Whistler's pensive figure suggests that he may have made this drawing after seeing Moore's work.
