From the Art Institute of Chicago record

Whistler frequently depicted his mistresses (and later, his wife), including the early etching Finette (nearby, 1938.1882) and this later lithotint. This subject’s relaxed pose—curled up in a chair, legs draped to the side—demonstrates an easy intimacy completely at odds with the portrait of Whistler’s straight-laced Victorian mother.
