It may, perhaps, be remembered that we praised the model as a work of art, but that we especially commended Mr. Marshall Wood's very honest and scrupulous fidelity to those minute characteristics of the living original which give individuality to a head almost ideal in its general proportions.

This lithograph, measuring 10 x 9 cm, features a vignette style and depicts her representation in the context of 19th-century ballet. The artwork was issued in Paris as a single unit within the graphic arts prints categoryFumette 1858 James McNeill Whistler American Whistler's mistress Heloise was nicknamed Fumette for her quick temper. Thought to be a gypsy, she worked as a milliner in the Latin Quarter of Paris and lived with the artist for two years. Her bohemian character is suggested here by hair worn loose, in defiance of convention, and crouching pose. Sympathetic to realist and naturalist ideas current in France, the artist avoided idealization or suggestions of universal meaning. Seymour Haden later recorded that Whistler etched the image before leaving for a tour of the Rhineland in mid-August 1868. After his October return, impressions were pulled for publication a month later in "Douze eau-fortes d'apres Nature" ("Twelve Etchings from Nature," known as the "French Set"). Evidently pleased with the print, the artist sent an impression to the Paris Salon of 1859.. Fumette 372658Samango Brugnoli Amalia Portrait. Prints. 1830. Jerome Robbins Dance Division.
