Convalescence 1875

"Convalescence" (1875) by James Tissot (1836-1902) depicts a woman resting in a chair by a body of water. The woman's face is obscured by her arm, but the softness of her form and the peaceful scene suggest a sense of tranquility and recovery. The delicate lines and shading in Tissot's signature style capture the subtle nuances of light and shadow, creating a serene and intimate atmosphere. The artwork's small dimensions contribute to its intimate nature, inviting viewers to closely observe the details and contemplate the quiet beauty of the moment.
