A young woman, known only by the name Eloise or Héloise and called Fumette, lived with Whistler for a time during his bohemian student days in Paris and posed for several of his etchings. A hatmaker or seamstress, rather than a professional model, she was among the Parisian working-class women who lived outside the norms of polite society and sometimes posed for youthful artists.
