EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the timeless bond between a mother and child, captured in exquisite detail by James Jacques Joseph Tissot. Entitled "Mother and Child or The Elder Sister" this oil on canvas masterpiece was created around 1881 and is currently housed at the Musee Municipal in Cambrai, France. In this enchanting scene, we witness a tender moment between Kathleen Newton, Tissot's mistress, and her niece Lilian Hervey. Seated in a lush garden setting, Kathleen cradles her young charge while the little girl contently sucks her thumb. With an air of maternal warmth and love, Kathleen gazes down at Lilian as she reads from a book. The composition beautifully captures the essence of motherhood and youthfulness intertwined. As we observe this intimate tableau unfold before us, it becomes evident that Tissot has skillfully portrayed not only the physical connection between these two figures but also their emotional bond. Interestingly enough, this painting was set against the backdrop of Tissot's conservatory at his villa in Grove End Road, St. Johns Wood. This additional context adds depth to our understanding of the artist's personal life and surroundings during this period. "Mother and Child or The Elder Sister" serves as a poignant reminder of the universal themes of love, family ties, and nurturing that transcend time itself. Through Tissot's masterful brushstrokes and attention to detail, he invites us into an intimate world where innocence meets experience within the embrace
