"Fluffy", by J. M. Jopling, in the Exhibition of the Institute of Painters in Water Colours, 1864. Engraving of a painting. What a title for a picture! We give the painter the benefit of the assumption that he intended this odd designation to refer only to the tiny toy terrier which this fair girl holds so daintily and caressingly, and whose smother of white worsted hair may have provoked such an appellation. But we fear there are some persons so devoid of all sense of gallantry as to be capable of seeking to fix the name "Fluffy" on the lady herself, under pretence of its being applicable to her tangle of warm golden - we dare not say red - hair and to the long pile of her dark sealskin jacket. Leaving such persons to the contempt they deserve, we beg to compliment the artist for the courage he has displayed in painting the profile view of a lady's face with a turned-up nose'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864

Fluffy
EDITORS COMMENTS
, a charming painting by J. M. Jopling, captured the hearts of viewers at the Exhibition of the Institute of Painters in Water Colours in 1864. The delicate engraving by W Thomas beautifully depicts a fair girl tenderly holding a tiny toy terrier, aptly named "Fluffy" for its white fluffy coat.
The title may have raised some eyebrows, with speculation on whether it referred to the dog or the lady herself. However, as described in an article from "Illustrated London News" in 1864, we choose to believe that it was meant endearingly for the adorable pup.
The artist's bold choice to portray the lady's profile view with a turned-up nose showcases his skill and courage in capturing unique features. The warm golden hair and dark sealskin jacket add depth and character to the composition.
Overall, "Fluffy" is a delightful piece that exudes charm and elegance. It invites viewers to appreciate not only the beauty of the subject but also the talent and creativity of J. M. Jopling as an artist.
