Description: | Royal None CRE WHISTLER, James McNeill; (American; 1834-1903) The San Francisco born dancer, Loie Fuller (Marie - Louise Fuller, 1862-1928) made her debut at the Folies Bergere on 5 November 1892. One of her dance routines was called "Le Papillon" (The Butterfly), in which she swirled draperies around her body, barely moving at all, hence the depiction here. Complex lighting enhanced the dramatic effect. Loie inspired a number of other artists, including Toulouse-Lautrec (1864-1901).
