A portrait by James Tissot of his muse, Kathleen Newton, seated in an armchair. The painting captures a moment of quiet contemplation in a domestic setting.
James Tissot, a French painter who spent a significant part of his career in Britain, is known for his genre scenes and portraits of fashionable society. This painting depicts Kathleen Newton, Tissot's muse and mistress, in a moment of quiet repose. Newton, an Irish divorcee, lived with Tissot for several years until her death from consumption in 1882. Her presence profoundly affected his life and art. The portrait captures Newton seated in a wicker armchair, her gaze directed downwards, perhaps lost in thought. She wears a dark brown, fur-trimmed jacket. The soft light filtering through the window illuminates her face and the pages of the book in her hands. The composition is intimate, focusing on Newton's contemplative expression. The surrounding room, with its glimpses of a garden and a partially visible painting, suggests a comfortable domestic setting. Tissot's skill in rendering textures and details is evident in the depiction of the fur, the wicker, and the folds of Newton's clothing.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
