Soupe à Trois Sous (Soup for three sous [pennies]) is a 1859 ink by James McNeill Whistler, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see a simple scene of a woman eating soup in this painting. The woman is the main focus, but what's interesting is the way the artist uses shading to create depth. This was a common technique in the 1800s, and it adds a lot of character to the scene. Check out the work of artist: Whistler, James McNeill to learn more about his style.
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.
