Seaside (July: Specimen of a Portrait), 1878. This painting belongs to a series of allegories representing various months of the year.

Bright sunlight is reflected off the sand and filtered through the awning into the room, where it rebounds from the womans ruffled dress onto her face.

17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
Seaside (July: Specimen of a Portrait), 1878 captures the essence of a blissful summer vacation by the sea. In this painting, part of James Tissot's series depicting allegories for each month, we see a woman in a relaxed pose, basking in the bright sunlight that reflects off the sand and filters through an awning into the room. The focal point of the portrait is undoubtedly the woman's face, which catches the rebounding light from her ruffled dress. Identified as Kathleen Newton, Tissot's British mistress during that time period, she exudes an air of tranquility and contentment. Her presence adds depth to this composition as she embodies both beauty and mystery. Tissot masterfully captures not only his subject but also evokes a sense of nostalgia for carefree days spent at seaside resorts. The distant beach visible through an open window serves as a reminder of endless possibilities awaiting beyond those walls. This oil on fabric painting showcases Tissot's exceptional talent in capturing natural light and its interplay with various surfaces. It is no wonder why it has found its place among other remarkable artworks at The Cleveland Museum of Art. Through this print from Heritage Images, viewers can transport themselves to another era and experience firsthand the allure and serenity that comes with summertime escapades by the sea.
