"La Jolie New Yorkaise (s./s./t. 99)" is an etching and drypoint created by the renowned American artist James Abbott McNeill Whistler. Whistler, who was born in 1834 and died in 1903, is celebrated for his contributions to the Aesthetic Movement and his innovative approach to art, which often emphasized mood and atmosphere over detailed realism. This particular work, produced in 1883, is part of Whistler's extensive oeuvre of prints, which includes over 400 etchings and lithographs.

The etching depicts a young woman, elegantly dressed, captured in a moment of quiet reflection. Whistler's mastery of line and his ability to convey texture and depth through minimalistic strokes are evident in this piece. The title, "La Jolie New Yorkaise," which translates to "The Pretty New Yorker," suggests a connection to New York, though the exact identity of the subject remains unknown. This ambiguity is characteristic of Whistler's work, which often leaves much to the viewer's interpretation.

Whistler's technique in "La Jolie New Yorkaise" showcases his skill in both etching and drypoint. Etching involves using acid to cut into the unprotected parts of a metal plate to create a design, while drypoint is a process where the image is incised directly onto the plate with a hard-pointed needle. The combination of these techniques allows for a rich variety of lines and textures, contributing to the overall delicacy and expressiveness of the image.

The work is part of Whistler's "Second Venice Set," a series of etchings created during his time in Venice. This period was particularly fruitful for Whistler, as he produced some of his most acclaimed prints, capturing the city's unique atmosphere and architecture. "La Jolie New Yorkaise" stands out within this collection for its focus on a solitary figure rather than a broader cityscape, offering a more intimate glimpse into Whistler's artistic vision.

Today, "La Jolie New Yorkaise" is held in various public and private collections, admired for its technical prowess and the subtle beauty characteristic of Whistler's best work. It continues to be studied and appreciated by art historians and enthusiasts alike, contributing to the enduring legacy of James Abbott McNeill Whistler as a pivotal figure in the world of printmaking and 19th-century art.
