Description
In 'At the Rifle Range', James Tissot captures a fashionable woman participating in a shooting activity, reflecting the leisure pursuits of the upper classes in the late 19th century.
James Tissot, a French painter known for his scenes of fashionable society, created 'At the Rifle Range'. The painting depicts a woman in an elaborate patterned coat with fur trim, standing under a pergola. She appears to be sighting a rifle, while two figures, possibly assistants or spectators, stand behind her with their hands covering their ears. Several rifles are laid out on a small table. The setting seems to be a garden or outdoor shooting range, with greenery and a brick structure visible in the background. Tissot's work often captured the leisure activities and social interactions of the upper classes during the late 19th century. His attention to detail in clothing and setting provides a glimpse into the material culture of the time. The composition and subject matter reflect an interest in contemporary life and the evolving roles of women in society. The painting's muted colour palette and careful rendering of light contribute to its realistic and engaging atmosphere.

Artist Biography
James Tissot
Tissot's real name was Jacques Joseph. He adopted James at eleven, out of admiration for English culture, which turned out to be prescient: he spent the most productive decade of his career in London, painting the English upper classes with a precision they found both flattering and uncomfortable.
He grew up in the port city of Nantes, the son of a milliner and dressmaker. His mother's trade shows in the paintings: nobody in nineteenth-century art rendered fabric, lace, ribbons and the cut of a sleeve with more attention than Tissot. He studied in Paris under Hippolyte Flandrin and exhibited at the Salon from 1859, shifting quickly from medieval subjects to modern life.
He fought in the Franco-Prussian War and was implicated in the Paris Commune of 1871, though the extent of his involvement remains unclear. What is clear is that he left Paris in a hurry after Bloody Week and turned up in London, where his detailed paintings of Victorian society made him wealthy within a few years. The English liked his work because it showed them as they wished to be seen: well-dressed, leisured, and slightly mysterious. The sexual tension in many of his compositions, the glances exchanged between men and women across the rigid codes of Victorian propriety, is always present and never explicit.
He drew caricatures for Vanity Fair under the pseudonym Coide. He was also a serious collector of Japanese art, and the influence of Japanese composition and textile patterns runs through his work alongside the European tradition.
In London he began a relationship with Kathleen Newton, an Irishwoman who became his constant model and companion until her death from tuberculosis in 1882. He returned to Paris after she died and spent his final years painting a monumental series of 350 gouaches illustrating the life of Christ, based on research trips to the Middle East.
