EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating etching with drypoint engraving by James Jacques Joseph Tissot. In this intriguing artwork, we are transported back to the late 19th century, where a young woman engrossed in reading captivates our attention. With her head and shoulders elegantly portrayed, she exudes an air of sophistication and intellect. Dressed in a stylish coat and hat that protect her from the cold, the woman's profile is accentuated by her spectacles or pince nez glasses. As she stands amidst lush foliage, there is an element of mystery as part of her face remains hidden behind the newspaper's pages. Tissot masterfully captures not only the physical attributes but also the emotions conveyed through this scene. The pale complexion suggests perhaps a sense of solitude or contemplation while indulging in current affairs. The artist pays meticulous attention to detail - from the fur collar adorning her coat to each fold on the paper itself - creating a lifelike representation that draws us into his world. Through this artwork, Tissot invites us to reflect upon how news consumption has evolved over time and reminds us of our timeless fascination with knowledge and information. This particular print belongs to a private collection but continues to be admired for its artistic brilliance and historical significance. It serves as a testament to Tissot's talent as well as his ability to capture moments frozen in time through his artistry.
