The artwork, titled “Judaic Ornament,” was created by James Tissot between the years 1886 and 1889. It is part of the Realism art movement and is categorized as a sketch and study. The dimensions of the artwork are 9 x 9 cm. This piece is currently housed in the Brooklyn Museum, located in New York City, NY, US.
The artwork depicts a finely detailed sketch of an intricate ornamental design. Central to the drawing is a symmetrical floral pattern, consisting of multiple petals emanating from a central point, arranged in a circular formation. The precision of the linework and the shading technique employed by the artist enhances the three-dimensional quality of the ornament. The artwork, executed in what appears to be a medium of graphite or ink, is presented on a modestly sized square paper bordered by a simple frame, further highlighting the meticulous attention to detail characteristic of Tissot’s approach.
