About the piece
Painted in 1877 by James Tissot, this oil on panel is a masterclass in Victorian genre painting. The scene depicts a quiet domestic moment where children weave through a richly appointed interior, their white dresses contrasting against the deep, moody tones of the upholstered furniture and heavy drapery. Tissot's remarkable ability to render texture is on full display, from the intricate patterns of the oriental rug to the tactile quality of the animal skin throws.
