“A Reclining Lady,” a portrait by James Tissot, is a quintessential example of the Realism art movement. The dimensions of this artwork are 40.7 x 30.3 cm. The piece captures a moment of rest and leisure, typical of Tissot’s intricate and detailed style.
In the artwork, a woman is depicted reclining on a sofa, surrounded by plush cushions. The lady appears serene and relaxed, her head resting on a pillow and her body partially cloaked in drapery that contrasts with her white blouse. On a nearby table, a few personal items, including a small container and a book, are placed, giving a glimpse into her leisurely activities. The colors are rich and earthy, with deep shadows that create a sense of depth and intimacy. Overall, the artwork exudes a calm and reflective mood, capturing the essence of quiet repose.
