Description: | Signed: yes Description: Tissot delighted in painitng the London bourgeoisie at lesiure, and On The Thames is a prime example of this tendency. The male sitter in this painting is probably Tissot himself, accompanied by Mrs. Newton, Tissot's lover, and her sister Mrs. Hervey. Considered a true peintre de la vie moderne, Tissot is best remembered for painting relaxed pictures of Victorian high society, many of which include the beautiful Mrs Newton, with whom he shared an intimate relationship from 1875 until her death in 1882. | Subjects: | everyday life; figure | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Tissot, James (French painter and printmaker, 1836-1902) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8346... | Go to resource |
