La Marchande de Moutarde is a 1858 ink by James McNeill Whistler, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting shows a young figure getting a container from an older figure in a dim room. The scene is quiet and simple, with lots of details about the clothes and the room. The artist paid close attention to how light and shadow play on different textures, like the clothes and the floor. To learn more about this style, look 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.
