The focus of the Com die Fra 

"The Focus of the Com die Fra," an etching by James Tissot, is a striking depiction of an interior scene. The composition features several figures in a dimly lit room, with the focus drawn towards a group of individuals lounging on a bed and a sofa. The use of chiaroscuro, with strong contrasts between light and dark, emphasizes the sense of intimacy and quiet contemplation within the room. The artwork, likely inspired by the social gatherings of the time, captures a moment of leisure and reflection. Tissot's meticulous detail and skillful rendering of texture contribute to the overall realism of the scene. This etching provides a fascinating glimpse into the lives and social dynamics of late 19th-century society.
