About
This lithotint, or wash lithograph, depicts Maud Franklin in an informal, even seductive, pose that suggests the ease and intimacy between Whistler and his model. The line drawing of the figure and chair is heightened by bold brushstrokes and set against a subtle wash, effects created by the artist’s manipulation of tusche (diluted lithographic crayon).
