Fumette, Standing, 1859
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print created by the renowned American artist James Abbott McNeill Whistler. This 19th-century artwork showcases his mastery of drypoint on paper technique and portrays a woman named Fumette in an intriguing pose. Fumette, believed to be Whistler's mistress and a dressmaker by profession, stands with her hands casually tucked into her pockets. Her direct gaze towards the camera reflects her curiosity and confidence. The simplicity of her posture highlights both her occupation as well as the social context of the time. Whistler's artistic brilliance shines through in this portrait as he captures Fumette's essence with remarkable precision. The fine details etched onto the paper reveal his exceptional skill in engraving techniques. Displayed at the Freer Gallery of Art within the Smithsonian Institution, this piece represents an important part of American art history during what was known as the Gilded Age. It offers viewers a glimpse into not only Whistler's artistic style but also into society at that particular moment in time. As we admire "Fumette, Standing" we are transported back to 19th-century America where art played a significant role in documenting people's lives and occupations. This photograph serves as a testament to Whistler's talent for capturing human emotion while simultaneously preserving historical moments for generations to come.
