Portrait of M.N. (Portrait of Mrs. Newton) 1876

"Portrait of M.N. (Portrait of Mrs. Newton)" is a striking 1876 drawing by the renowned French artist James Tissot. The artwork features a woman, likely Mrs. Newton, in a three-quarter profile, her face partially obscured by a wide-brimmed hat adorned with feathers. Tissot's masterful use of shading creates a sense of depth and realism, highlighting the delicate features of the subject's face. This work exemplifies Tissot's penchant for capturing the essence of fashionable Victorian society, particularly the elegance and allure of women of the era.
