About this work

A pencil and pastel sketch shows a seated woman in a flowing blue gown working with her hands beside a bench, while a bare-chested man in a green-and-purple headwrap sits opposite her with his head resting on his hand. The loose, smudged lines and soft coloured accents suggest a quick study. This drawing by James McNeill Whistler is dated 1898 and is titled The Bead Stringers.
