John Singer Sargent painted Smoke of Ambergris in 1880.

It is a romantic, orientalist scene, the woman catching smoke in the billowing folds of her gown. As the Clark writes, “the details of the costume and setting come from different regions and social classes…Therefore, the scene must be viewed as an imaginary one.”

Even the substance is less romantic than presented—ambergris is actually a bile duct secretion from sperm whales, found on the beach after it has been excreted.
