KEYWORD

model, nude standing, woman standing.

TITLE

Whistler's original title is not known. Later titles are seen in the following examples:

'Nude Girl Standing' (1909, Howard Mansfield (1849-1938); 1910, Edward Guthrie Kennedy (1849-1932)). 1
'Nude Woman Standing, hand on hip' (2010, Whistler Etchings Project).

The suggested title 'Nude Woman Standing, hand on hip' is more accurate and descriptive than Kennedy's title.

1: Mansfield 1909[more] (cat. no. 125); Kennedy 1910[more] (cat. no. 128).

DESCRIPTION

A full-length study of a nude woman facing front.
