Quiet 1881

"Quiet", painted in 1881 by James Tissot, depicts a woman and a young girl relaxing on a chaise longue in a garden setting. The scene is characterized by a sense of peace and tranquility, emphasized by the soft lighting and the languid poses of the figures. The woman, dressed in a blue and white gown, holds a book, while the girl rests her head on her arm. A dog sits beside them, adding to the idyllic atmosphere. The delicate brushwork and muted color palette create a sense of intimacy and refinement, typical of Tissot's work. The composition and subject matter are reminiscent of the Pre-Raphaelite movement, highlighting the beauty of everyday life and the importance of domesticity.
