Fumette is a 1858 ink by James McNeill Whistler, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a woman with long, wavy hair sitting in a dark dress. She has a neutral expression and wide eyes. The background is subtly textured. Her skirt is lighter than her dress. The woman's face is interesting because it doesn't show strong emotions. This makes you wonder what she's thinking. You can learn more about the method used to create this image by looking up the technique: etching.
James Abbott McNeill Whistler was an American painter in oils and watercolor, and printmaker, active during the American Gilded Age and based primarily in the United Kingdom.
