About the piece

Created in 1880 by Marie Bracquemond, this work depicts fellow artist James Tissot at his easel alongside a model in a lush outdoor setting. Bracquemond, one of the leading female figures of the Impressionist movement, uses a delicate, light-filled palette and rapid brushwork to masterfully evoke the airy, fleeting atmosphere of a spring garden in bloom.
