The Cup Found 1902

"The Cup Found" is a watercolor painting by James Tissot, completed in 1902. This artwork, part of a larger series depicting scenes from the New Testament, captures a moment from the story of the "Lost Cup of the Temple." The painting shows a group of men gathered around a donkey laden with a sack of grain. The man in the foreground gestures dramatically, revealing a hidden cup within the sack. The artist’s meticulous attention to detail and use of muted colors create a sense of realism and immediacy, drawing viewers into the scene. Tissot's work, known for its illustrative style, was popular in the late 19th century, and "The Cup Found" offers a compelling glimpse into his artistic mastery.
