Jessica Penn in Black with White Plumes is a 1908 oil by Robert Henri, a American Impressionism work, held at Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art.
This painting shows a woman with red hair, wearing a black dress and a white hat adorned with blue and white plumes. She stands against a dark background, with her face turned slightly to her right. The woman's attire and the style of the painting suggest it is from the early 20th century. Her direct gaze and the simplicity of her surroundings draw attention to her as the subject.
